I am surprised you decided to get winter tires. I live about 30mi away and never felt winter tires are justified in our area.
Yeah I drove 170mi in that last winter storm to Baltimore and back. Took 7 hours for round trip. Traction of all season tires wasn't an issue, other cars were. And we didn't get stuck except for one steep hill in Baltimore were lady decided to walk in the middle of the road and tell everyone what she thinks of the cars on "her" street and her right to walk were she wants.
