Since you have the snows...I would change them. I would not change them if I could get the wife's car and use it. 
..but if you use it everyday regardless, I would change them.....why take the risk, when you have the snows.

You call this snow? More like a Rain/Slush storm..
My car is fine, but I would agree.. since you have winters, why risk it but do what I do, TAKE THE BUS ! =) and leave the baby in the garage
