I see you're in WI...think about an AWD model? My buddy bought a 300 for his wife, ended up keeping it for himself(he has a 4x4 Excursion for bad weather days) and got her an AWD 300C. My sister-in-law had a Magnum and hated it in the snow....biggest reason they pedaled it. With or without sure-grip you're gonna need some GOOD tires and some weight in the back.
