In case there is snow!

My M3s are good up to ~5" of snow. And I will only drive in that if it's an emergency. On plowed roads where you are in packed snow they are brilliant. And on dry and cold roads they do really well, much sportier than the Blizzaks.

Yeah, you don't get as much snow down there, and if it does snow that much things are pretty much shut down anyway. M3 is a good choice for that area. DW's suck in any kind of snow but are good at low temp. Any further south I would probably go with the DWS as the winter tire, good tire in the cold and light snow.
