I now have a snow tire set up and will be replacing the PS A/S 3's in the spring with real Summer tires. FWIW.

I'm also currently reside Baltimore and I'd have to disagree. It hasn't snowed enough in my 5 years living there to merit anything other than all seasons. I have had Continental DWS's on my stock set for the winter for the past 3 winters and was able to get around perfectly fine (even when some trucks were getting stuck; silly RWD trucks...) I'm not saying winter tires won't get you around better in the snow, but with how little snow we get, the tires can get worn down awfully fast.
What will really be interesting is coming back from my 6 week TDY in Florida in December on ZII's. Reaallly hoping for a dry road day for that one so I can get my other tires on!
