It's not just the snow, it's also temperature. Summer tires do not grip when it's cold. They're made of softer rubber or something, and it gets harder when it's cold. You need to read the specs for the tire, and if your climate doesn't meet those specs in the winter, you really need something else in the winter season.

Here's a link from Tire Rack:

They say don't use them under 40F.
