Oh yeah.  A 4WD would be good too. :-)  When moved (back) here, people
said "You're moving to BUFFALO?  The place with all the SNOW?  Are you
NUTS?" Mind you, I was in NH at the time.  I don't know if NH or Buffalo
gets more snow (probably depends on the year), but I do know that Buffalo
does not get nearly as cold.  However, a shovel, sleeping bag, extra
gloves, hats, socks, a few candles and or flashlight, and some munchies
are always a good idea to carry in your car if you live in a snowy place.
 
As for ferret vets, I like the Blue Cross Small Animal Hospital at Main
and Eggert in Amherst.  They have several vets there so you can ask who
likes to work with ferrets best.  There's a new vet there I haven't seen
yet, Dr. Adamcek, but I hear she is good with ferrets.  I like Dr. Brown
as well.  My impression is that if they don't know something, they will
research it, which I think is as valuable as having a vet who seems to
know everything already.
