Am from sunny California and am moving to Boston soon.

No problem cross country.

Echo what DevilGirl said, get a set of dedicated snow tires, makes an enormous difference. Ran my Yaris one winter w/o them and had no problems, but I got them because of my trips out to OH, it was only then I saw the marked improvement.

I'm on the South Coast of MA. and will be putting my Altimax Arctics on sometime next month.

Welcome to the Commonwealth, I actually plan on leaving as soon I can get a few things sorted.

I don't know how accustom you are to long drives, I just returned from a trip to OH, 744 miles, takes me 12-13 hours with one stop. That is my limit.

There is a phenomenon known as highway hypnosis which is quite real, I used to think it was all a bunch of Bravo Sierra. Not true. Don't push it pull over frequently, and be safe. Good luck! It's a big beautiful country we have here, enjoy it.

Cheers.
