Forecasters got it wrong, as usual, but we still had probably 4-6" of snow, and some ice thrown in for good measure. The wind caused part of the street in front of our house to be nearly bare pavement, with 2' drifts in front of the driveway.
The important part of the post is that I'm quite happy with the Vredestein Quatrac 5 tires on snow and light ice. Very little slipping, even on the snow-packed-into-ice roads. I wouldn't hesitate to buy these tires again, when the time comes.
