Like greater Minneapolis–Saint Paul area or rural? I live in Southern Ontario and while we get bad blizzards, the GTA has such good salting and plowing I never find I’m worried about traction. But I know it does get worse winter in Minnesota, particularly if you’re in a rural area where there’s less road maintenance.
Rural. And I could get by (and have for most of my life) without AWD, but it definitely makes a difference, and is not as this article suggests just for the extra power.
Depending on where in Southern Ontario you live, there is a chance you live North of Minneapolis St Paul. There is also a good chance that the great lakes make your climate more mild as well.
Of course Ontario is big. If you go directly north from Minneapolis you end up in Ontario - but almost nobody lives in that part of Ontario.
