People who live in areas with adequate plowing during and after a snowstorm can probably get about fine on just all seasons. It all depends.

Good point. This is a map that shows vegetative zones in North America. It can be used as a proxy for cold temperatures and snowfall amounts. Anyone living in one of the blue, dark green or purple areas should probably be using winter tires, or stay home when it snows. The light brown areas are a maybe.
