I have also had Continental Winters and now the Michelin X-ice.....both leave me wishing I had one of the first two I mentioned. Just my opinion from my experience.
Have fun out there in the white stuff....going to be a long one.........
In my experience the Continental ExtremeWinter Contact is the best snow tire you can buy, better than any Bridgestone. Check this out:

Note that the Conti outperformed the Michelin in every meaningful performance test except ice. Bear in mind that the ice test is done on a hockey rink so unless you drive a Zamboni.....
