Jeff-
Yes, we had about 3" quite awhile back and had to visit family about 60 miles away that weekend, so we took the car so I could test out the snow-tires.
Did the lane-change maneuver across the slushy crap that will pull and try to spin your car on the interstate. The thing was rock solid. You could hear the slop hitting the inside of the wheel-wells, but no problems what so ever. I think I annoyed my family after about the 8th lane change during our first 3 miles of driving. (It was an early Sunday morning, so there weren't many cars out on the interstate.)
Later as we were headed back home, I did a couple stops/starts in a slick icy parking lot and it was almost like being on blacktop.
It's funny you took that picture. I also noticed how TALL the tire prints are that are left in the snow. That's probably the secret to the good traction of these tires.
Just got our $80 rebate card in the mail a couple days back from the tires!

Jeff,
Don't know about you, but I'm ok with no snow until 2015.
Patience grasshopper. That white stuff will soon fly allowing use of the cubs and the Vic. Or you could make a parts run up to Charlie. He might have some snow layin' around to play in.

Neat pics.
Congrats on the trunk organizer. I've been looking at those, but they're not cheap!

What people don't understand, who haven't dealt with a Vic/Marquis trunk, is that to get anything out of it, you nearly have to fall into it.
Edit: The organizer helps with that situation.
