I'm worried about the temperature and my poor tires! Car's staying inside until it gets at least a little warmer. I'm sure the car would be fine in the snow (and in fact many of our friends up north drive in the snow) but the tires I have on it on the other hand are not fine, not fine at all.

I lived in Massachusetts before Washington. The snow storms in Seattle seem fairly tame in comparison, but we don't have the same infrastructure to deal with it.

I'll take the city being shut down for a couple days over having roads torn up by snow plows, and cars wrecked by salt and sand.
