Every day driver here also, since purchase in December... can only agree with all the 'favorable but common sense' reviews above... No bigger problem than driving anything else... and better than most IMO... handled quite well this winter.

And I'm a bit farther north than you... we had about 3 or 4 snows that were 2-4 inches each.. and it did just fine.

HOWEVER, I do have the 'all season' Continental brand tires.... having never driven one without those cant say if that added/detracted from the performance, but I would tend to think it helped.
