My solution is switch out the summer tires for Ultra High Performance All Season category tires when things get cold. If it snows really bad I either hibernate or pull out the beater.
If I handled my 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with mismatched tires (no stability or traction control obviously), with some bags of sand in the trunk and without a cell phone back in the day, I can definitely handle my F30 with UHPAS tires in the snow. Jeez people are pussies these days.

Don't be silly. Snow tires are for cold temps as well as snow. If you think they are only for snow you have no idea what you are talking about... |
Don't be silly... Snow tires suck ass in dry conditions. If you think snow tires perform well in dry conditions you have no idea what you are talking about.
I don't know about you but I drive my BMW in the snow very few days a season. In dry conditions UHPAS are FAR superior to snow tires... plus they are less expensive and have longer wear. Why would I bias my tire choice for <5% of how I use my car? That would be foolish.
