Winter sucks! Its beautiful for the first 20 minutes after a snowfall, then it just gets messy. Heres a few shots from last year:
I would HIGHLY recommend a set of snows/steelies. Not only do you save on traction, but you'll save your tires and wheels. The salt attacks the wheels and if you get stuck, you'll have the tendency to just spin the wheels until you free yourself which greatly diminishes tire life. I may be selling my New steelies and Blizzaks with 1 week of driving on them (I'm in the process of selling the SVT).
Good luck, drive safe, welcome to Boston!!
