I moved to this area from the Deep South back in 2020. I had never driven in snow and had only seen snow in real life a hand full of times as a kid. I went through two winters with the same summer tires I had when I lived in the South. I’m not recommending you do that but I’m just saying that the winters aren’t bad here. Also, the schools the other day in some areas closed over the threat of snow/ice. It just rained. Which is whatever. It happens. Hopefully that gives you an idea. As many others have said already.
