That's what I've heard... another Airman said there really isn't much snow around here, just wind (to make blizzards) and melted snow during the day to black ice come nightfall.
I'm actually from Iowa, and I've never had problems with all-season tires, but then again Iowa doesn't have much in the way of black ice, but there's plenty of snow in the winter (usually).
Oh well, I'll just put on some winter tires and try not to drive so much.
