any place that have sustained sub zero winter days lasting months with more than 1" of snow should be driving on winter tires. It's not that all seasons aren't doable, but it's an added insurance to give yourself peace of mind.
It's proven that winter tires are significantly better than all seasons when it comes to stopping which is the most important reason to get winter tires. Even with winter tires there's no guarantees. If the roads are icy/snowy and a guy ahead of you with winter tires chooses brake instead of running a late amber. Having your own winters could be the difference between stopping in time or rear ending the guy ahead of you.
You can only control your own car and getting winter tires optimizes your control of your own car for the conditions. Driving without is just playing russian roulette and essentially gambling each time you are out on the road. I've lost count to how many suv's i've seen in the ditch during heavy snow days because they likely thought 4wd gives them the safety net to allow them to get by on all seasons.
