The Five Best Vehicles for a Snow-icane

You're looking at the first truck to ever drive to the North Pole (the <i>magnetic</i> North Pole for you nitpickers.) Outfitted by Arctic Trucks of Iceland, with the Toyota Hilux AT38 you'll have no excuses for being late for work. There's even a rifle rack on the side of the cab, in case a polar bear gets in your way. Hey, if you happen to be the governor of Alaska, that could be an issue. (Arctic Trucks Experience)

Ford may promote the F-150 SVT Raptor as the ultimate truck for tearing across the deserts of the American Southwest, but the potent pickup truck is equally adept in the white stuff. Plus, if you chose the Molten Orange paint job, the search and rescue teams won't have much trouble finding you in the unlikely event that you actually get stuck. <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2009/09/17/ford-f-svt-raptor/">Click here for a full review of the Raptor</a> (Foxnews.com)

Sure, production of the HUMMER H2 stopped last winter, and now the entire company is going out of business. But there's still plenty of them left on dealer lots, so grab a shovel and go dig one out, because the H2 is the ultimate off-road SUV, and nearly unstoppable in any conditions...as long as you don't have to drive very far, because they're kind of the ultimate gas guzzler, too.

Despite the Australian moniker, if New England had an official car the Subaru Outback would be it, and the 2010 model is bigger and better than ever. Liberal Arts professors never had it so good. <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2009/12/17/subaru-outback-r-limited/">Click here for a full review of the Outback.</a> (Foxnews.com)

Sure, it's probably lower than the snow drift at the end of your driveway, but the R8 V10 also has high performance all-wheel-drive, and Audi practically invented that. Even better, it has 525 horsepower, courtesy of an engine it shares with Lamborghini. If its a high-society charity Snow Ball you need to get to, you couldn't arrive in something cooler than this.
