I recently moved to a SouCal mountain community that receives some snowfall each year. Not heavy, and usually has melted within a few days. I will be needing a set of snow boots for light use such as shoveling the driveway or wearing when out running errands and needing to slog through slushy parking lots or a few inches of snow.

I won't be doing any hiking in them, I just need to keep my feet dry and warm for short periods. Mid-calf height should do it. I prefer something that can be slipped on and off easily as I don't like driving with clunky boots, I would switch between a pair of slip on tennis shoes when driving and grab the boots and put them on before exiting the car. So I don't want a pair that take a couple minutes to lace up or unlace to get in and out of. Maybe something that slip on or have zippers ?

Budget is around $75 or so. Suggestions are appreciated.
 
Look at Totes. I have a pair specifically for snow. They aren't the best but they work for what little I use them.
 
I got some black boots with lace and zipper that look like a military boot. I think from Walmart. They are waterproof and the zipper makes them easy on/off. I use them excursively for snow blowing.
 
I bought Lands' End boots like 12 years ago. Last winter, the sole peeled away from the upper. My ex wife told me to send them back and they'd send me a new pair for free.

Sure enough, I have a new pair for free. Crazy.

I wonder if they do that for their coats I bought a few years ago? I'm getting some annoying fraying on one of the cuffs. Love the coat otherwise.

Yep, BOGS and Muck boots are popular in Michigan. Both brands are well made, light weight, warm.
 
I'm partial to my Bean boots. I keep around a set of yak-tracks to give them traction in ice conditions. I find they do good for keeping water out, bit chilly so I wear thick socks.
