I've been driving my car all winter so far with zero problems. Even with the all seasons the car handles pretty well now that I put 3 sand tubes in the trunk (210 lbs). The best part is, if you get stuck you can toss them under the wheels and cut them open to get some traction. I'm not sure about you Toronto boys but Buffalo got around 10 inches in a very short amount of time. The road were crap and the plows couldn't really keep up, but I was still able to do 35-40 mph, which was about the average for the traffic on the road given the conditions. The only problems I ever have is when snow is deep and I'm trying to get moving, but once I'm at a steady speed in 3rd+ it's pretty smooth.

Nope, it is a year round DD. Switching to a winter beater for 6 months of the year would be too hard to take
