I too heard about the risk of more snow! Will probably wait a few weeks before switching back. Nothing to lose really as the winter tyres still handle very well on these cold and wet days.

Weather's warming here too... low of -8 and high of +6 C forecasted for this week.
I usually wait until third week of April before switching rubber.

Officially we're now a couple of days into spring but wait, what's this ...
heavy snow forecast at 8am, winter tyres are still on and maybe a last chance for some action this winter

The curse of having two sets of tires (Winter + Summer) vs. All ("No") Seasons. When to do the two swaps. I'd rather be caught in an early or late Winter storm with All Seasons than Summer tires. I'd also rather not keep Winter tires on too long as they get chewed up fast in warm weather and dry roads. I've gone both routes but ultimately prefer the All Seasons but, as always,... "YMMV".
