David and Steve,

Thanks for the advice. I am going to get a set of the cable type snow chains. The shovel sounds like a good idea. Karen is in charge of keeping the exhaust clear of snow.

I have a question about when to put the snow chains on. If I put them on too early does it cause any problems? Is there a certain speed limit when I have the chains on? Do I have to stop and tighten up the chains occasionally?

We are excited about the trip; I am sure that we will get "enough" of the snow after a few days. Keep in mind, it doesn't snow much in south Louisiana!
