Edmunds Inside Line just did an article on Summer vs All Season vs Winter tires in three conditions dry, wet and snowy. http://www.insideline.com/features/tire-te...-vs-summer.html
Summary: Avoid driving on summer tires in the snow...they suck.

If you MUST drive every day during the winter and you have no other means of getting around the couple of days that would be treacherous, then go with Mani's suggestion and actually get snow tires. If you get by the couple of days by either not driving or driving a different vehicle/getting a ride, then all-seasons are fine. Mind you, where you live makes a big difference. Down here in Fredericksburg we don't get much, if anything, from northern winter storms, but heaven help us when it comes from the south.

I had no issues when I had those r comps on the winter. It was scarier when it was raining
