Not too cold in my neck of the woods. I left that type of weather after retiring and moving here to Squamish B.C.. We get some temps below freezing but not for long generally. Not much snow compared to the surrounding mountains. Mostly rain in winter with some freezing rain just for excitement.

We have to use winter tires 6 months of the year on the highways just in case of bad weather. It can happen fast. Oddly enough in Alberta with real winter snow, ice, very cold temps etc we can get away with all season tires all year round. That is really a retarded idea. Sure glad I was eventually taught about real winter tires and ice tires.
