I kid, I kid. But I don't really understand how lanes and alleys are supposed to work in a winter climate.
Well, we've been in our current mid-50's bungalow for 18 years with a double rear garage on a gravel alley with sloped intersecting alleys at either end of the block and have only gotten stuck in the alley once in those 18 years. Over those 18 years we've mostly driven either FWD or RWD vehicles - people just have to learn how to operate their vehicle in deeper snow. The stuck vehicle was a RWD Chev Astro (I wasn't driving) which I got into and promptly got unstuck just by some manoeuvring and throttle control.

BTW, never have been a pick-up owner, never will be.
