The Paradise Valley generally receives less snow than other places in Montana. My wife and I drive a Prius year round and typically a grocery store trip is ~40 minutes round trip. We're able to take the Prius on 95% of our winter drives. This last winter was quite warm, we were flying kites outside over Thanksgiving with our extended family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_Valley_%28Montana%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_Valley_%28Montana%29 Some photos of the harsh winter conditions experienced here :) http://imgur.com/OwmFVok http://imgur.com/OwmFVok http://imgur.com/CcnJjFV http://imgur.com/CcnJjFV http://imgur.com/I3pfkxO http://imgur.com/I3pfkxO
