Louis,
I hate to disagree with you, but on what unplowed interstates were you driving?
According to the Gov of Mass, there were 4000 plow trucks on the road during the great blizzard of '05.
Now it just so happens I was traversing from Northern Maine to Southern MA. I found I95 plowed, but drifting. According to traffic radio, all the interstates were plowed, but suffering from re-drifting. I stopped due to white-out conditions, not snow depth.
No SAAB even with the best snow tires or chains would get you through some of those drifts. They were 2-4 ft deep in places before plowing.
