I'm from Jersey & last year I rode around all winter (when I was actually able to get my car out of my driveway) with my summer tires. However last year we had a really bad winter. So there would be weeks I wouldn't be able to move my car from the parking spot. I never had issues with clearance when I was actually driving the car . This year I plan on getting some snow tires & a beater for the really bad storms. All you can do. Either that....or get an all year round car which I'm sure you won't!!!
