Yeah, I've been sold on the need for studs by this year's weather. At this point I figure I'll either be prepared for the ice, or, just as likely, my owning studded tires will guarantee the weather will be nice all winter. Either way, it works out well for me in the end.

Not sure I'll have the cash for them in time for this season, but I'll have some by next winter for sure. With as much as metro costs these days, ten days of metro commuting avoided will pay for the tires.
