Winter tires will significantly improve traction on snow and ice because of thread pattern and softer rubber compound. You will take off faster, turn sharper and more importantly, stop quicker. Call it an added safety margin. One can get by with all-seasons tires until... you needed the extra margin. Of course if you don't need to drive when the going gets tough and are a very careful driver, you should do fine without Winters. For me, on the highway in a snowstorm, or worse, in wet snow, the difference is following everybody that linger in the right lane or cruising past them in the left lane, visibility permitting of course.
