a lot of people in the south don't buy snow tires for the main fact it doesn't snow ever... and when snow actually falls we think it will be gone the next day and spending money on a set of tires that may never be used for more than a few hours or may never see use again till they dry up and start cracking. A good set of all seasons is great to have during the winter months. This winter sure has been rough though. I feel bad for Houston people who drive only on summer tires all year round to get hit by actual winter weather. I'm in Dallas and it MAY snow 4 times within a 10 year period. and 80% of the time it never sticks and just melts and drains away without re-freezing.
