This Winter is very varm, +6 c close to every day. Last year was about -15 - -20 and A LOT of snow. xdrive was really usefull...
A great advantage of the warm vinter here - you can wash the car in front of your house - so I took two pics with winter tires (17"). (Law says you have to use winter tires, studded or unstudded dec 1 to mar 31)
