When do you switch out the snow tires in VA/MD/DC area?

I noticed the weather is warming up now..unfortunately I only used my blizzak for like a month. Is it close to time to switch out the snow tires??? I like the weather as it is now but was expecting longer low 30's....

We usually get anothr cold snap or two prior to April, but the last couple of weeks are way below average. It seems we get all or nothing. A big snow storm one day 70 degrees the next. We had that last year. For now, leave them on til mid-March.

Don't use them. If it snows, I take the 4x4.

I make my audi friend drive if its snowing, no snow tires here.

But it seems like the weather is pretty unpredictable, so if I had them I would probably leave them on until end of feb or early march.

I keep my blizzacks on until I know there wont be freezing temps anymore. Summer tires when its below 40 is just asking for trouble.
