(note emphasis on bike) :jest:
Honda Fit has great stowage, as does HR-V and both are FWD and probably light enough to get around pretty well in snow. Honda and Toyota are pretty legendary in used car durability/longevity. Also, I'd suspect Madison has excellent snow removal capability so that may negate some of the need for a "must have AWD" attitude.
Plus consider global warming. It's been 50+ here in KC for most of the damn winter. Been on my bike a lot but normal this aint and it has me concerned for all of us. When I was a kid it was cold and snowy 95% of the winter. I've shoveled once this year...and didn't really need to.
Those Subie Crosstreks are also pretty cool for all this stuff and standard AWD if it's a mandatory.
