Last year we had almost no snow - it was great! Year before that the university where I work shut down quite a few days and by the time I'd shovelled to the end of the drive I had a couple of new feet of the white stuff where I'd started! So you never know... But I've got nice Nismo 19" forged rims as my winter rims and some nice Bridgstone Blizzaks on those, so it should be OK
