Absolutely!
Car&Driver did a comparison test between summer and snow tires a couple of years back.
An Audi A6 front wheel drive with snow tires did much better in snow tests than another A6 quattro with summer tires. The difference between summer vs. snow tires on 2 wheel drive cars is even more pronounced.
Autobild compares seventeen 205/55R16 H and V rated snow tires in its last issue. The link is a lousy Google translation from German but still pretty informative.
Looks like only one V-rated tire measures up to the H-rated ones on snow - the Dunlop SP WinterSport M3 in this test.
Here is the original link in German:

Click on the links on the top of the page to get to the detailed test results on snow, wet and dry:
Wertung Schneetest
Wertung Nassetest
Wertung Trockentest
The summary page (URL) lists the HRs first as a group in order of the test results and the VRs follow.
