Consider storage/parking the car you want to keep and suspending the insurance (except for comp coverage) and shop for a winter vehicle (beater with a heater).

The only car I have now is my trusty 1995 Corolla DX and she is still needed come shine, rain, snow, ice, hell or high water. This daily-driver econo classic of mine is still rust-free and I intend to try to still keep her that way. She has survived the droughts Folsom, California, the scorching deserts of summertime Nevada while driving through, a few snowy winters of Boise, Idaho and the blustery, humid, hail-stone thunderstorm weather of Tornado Alley Oklahoma. Not a spec of rust anywhere. She has been parked outside mostly since I got her from an old man in 2013. I have lived in apartments with no shelter for cars at all. I live on a limited VA disability income too. Living in South Dakota means I will have to spend some more money for my car (and my own body) dealing with its nasty winters. But there are cheap income-based newer-construction apartments there. The landlords will have to deal with clearing snow.
