These cars suck so bad in the snow you'll want to lean towards the serious snow tire models, not performance-oriented winter tires. Just realize you're choosing to sacrifice performance so you can get where you want, when you want.

I agree these cars are bad in the snow and recommend "nordic winters" for anywhere that gets more than a light sprinkle (0.25" or more). Even with nordic winters, it can be challenging when there's more than 1" of snowfall and you'll still be praying traffic doesn't slow down on hills as you'll need to maintain momentum to get up.
