I live in Wisconsin and it’s the same here. I don’t have one on the front of my car cause I would have to drill holes in mine to install one (no idea why it didn’t come with a place for one already setup, it’s originally from Illinois), but also I only drive rarely and when I essentially have to, or in the winter because my local bike infrastructure is seasonal. Never had any issue with it.

You should look into studded bike tires. I was in a similar situation but figured out how to ride in the winter even in my town that completely half asses snow removal. Sold my car and started using uber/lyft and an hourly car rental service (zipcar) to fill in the gaps. I’ve saved thousands of dollars in no time and now I don’t have to maintain a car anymore.

Oh that’s interesting, thank you. I’d never heard of those before.
