Skills only get you so far in a blizzard dude. On nearly new all seasons you should be "ok" but Xdrive, 4WD, 6WD is not a substitute for good winter rubber. Once your A/Ss get ~40-60% worn you'll be in trouble in severe conditions. You may not get stuck but you also may not be able to stop or turn fast enough to avoid a collision if something unexpected happens. You can afford an X1, you can afford the right tires for the task. Word. Drive safely.
No my 1er is not out today, wife's Pilot with new Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snows- great tire also running on my CR-V but they're not as crispy at this point- ~15k on them. Unfortunately I can't leave work early today but I am making it home. If not (roads closed etc.) I did everything I could.
