We rarely get that amount of snow around these parts, Ken.  In fact this winter (........thus far) we had 2 inches one morning and by the afternoon the precipitation had turned to rain.  By the evening the snow had all washed away.  I think we might have had a handful of noticeable frosts since December.
It's got to the point where I don't use winter tyres anymore - two of our cars have all season tyres on all year round, and my BMW X3 has a set of summer wheels/tyres and a second set with all seasons on that only go on mid-November to mid-March.
