Took 3 hours to dig out the next morning, snowblower was busted. I think the Fit will do fine. I am going to load some weight in the back though (mainly safety gear). If it seems shaky I will definitely be looking into all weather tires. We should have a winter stats page for the areas that hit winter first so the rest of us can prep.
