Is Houghton to L’anse a reasonable commute?

I’m excited to be relocating to the UP from Colorado for work here in about a month. I’ll be working out of L’anse but am struggling to find housing in the area. It seems like the Houghton/Hancock area might be my best bet. My only concern would be the winter commute. I have an AWD crossover and feel comfortable with winter driving but haven’t explored the area yet and know y’all’s winter is something different.
