Winter here is seven months out of the year
I drive it. I put winter tires on it, and the good news is that I drive it from one covered garage (home) to another covered garage (work) and I also work from home more in the winter. I wash the car once a week if it snows and there is lots of salt on the roads. I will be buying winter floor mats, this year too. But otherwise business as usual.
One thing I have learned is that dedicated snow tires (I don't use the stock rims either) make all the difference. All season tires, IMHO are the worst of both worlds as you typically get poor performance in the summer and poor traction in the winter.
