We got a skiff here, mainly cold though at -20c today.
Do love the AWD and winter tire combo, you have to work hard to spin the tires, or break traction. I can out drag most 4x4 pickups in the snow since they have much wider tires, and usually mud tires too.

That's what my wife always says, "skiff." Sometime modified to "skift." "Just a skift."

That's pretty quick digging on your part!
That blue really is a nice color. (But "BlueBetty" doesn't really work...)
