Point well taken. Since I live in CA - well if it's snowing it means a cubic mile of nickel-iron has probably high-fived an ocean recently :-)
I agree that "locking" brakes work well in snow. But it takes practice to learn how to use them. Locking them up on hard packed snow is even worse than having antilock. If I lived in snow country, I'd use parking lots etc. to stay proficient in snow driving. It can also be a real blast. :-)

As for pulling toys - that is one need I don't have. We've gone from being DINKs to SITCOMs (single income, two children, oppressive mortgage).

I get some snow and ice too and I like the anti-lock brakes. I didn't think I'd like them but when I steered around an idiot while braking on fresh snow they saved me a front end repair. Granted I miss spinning donuts in the parking lots but I do like the steering ability.
