...all seasons just don't cut it. I live in NH and drive a lot of the backroads where sun doesn't reach the pavement till May. I run snow tires on all my vehicles for the winter - and my wife insists on studs to give her that extra grip on the permafrost we get in some areas. :-). Frankly, if you stay on well-traveled roads and always go after the roads are clear, a good set of all seasons will work. But if you get snow and it stays all winter (and a 4-8" storm is just an annoyance to you), then dedicated snow tires are the only way to go. Just as an fyi, I run:
95 Saab 900S auto - 4 studded cooper weathermaster (son's car)
01 Buick Regal GS - 4 studded Nokia Hakka 1's (wife's car)
03 Pontiac Aztek - 4 non-studded cooper weathermaster (my car)
I've tried running studless Blizzak's in the past, but frankly they get much more squirrely on the dry pavement and grind up pretty fast due to their rubber makeup.
