I live about as far North as you can get in any North American City. I put Blizzack's on last winter and the car was fine and stopped on a dime. In fact it's balance (front to back) weight ratio made it better in snow than my previous Audi TT Quattro with cheap winter tires. Spend the extra on good tires. Traction is not only about grip, it is about the rubber staying soft in sub freezing temperatures in order to make that grip available. Having said that, if enough snow falls you will be ploughing. But surprisingly I had no issue this past winter.
