4 seasons, 1 is winter = 3 months. I last drove my Z in December. March will be about when I bring it out, if not later this month. Just waiting for the rains to begin.

I thought about taking it out today, as most of the sand/salt has been swept off the roads by traffic, but...nah.
Winter tires are for temps below ~50F. When I was in Chicago, my winter tires were on the car from a bit before TurkeyDay to late April. Between 5 and 6 months.
