Folks here who live where there is actually a winter and you actually drive on winter tires as do a large portion of folks. I get you. I understand. I get that "this is the only way". And yes, in your case, tires trump it all. Message recieved. If I lived there I would undoubtedly have a set of dedicated winter wheels/tires on the full family fleet.
Same folks. Do you also understand that a large portion of the U.S. is not where you live and that here, we have temps that can be in the 70s this time of year followed by light snow showers and temps in the 30s that may be 1-2" and last a day on the ground? This year I don't think we (Richmond, VA area) will get any snow and it's been mild 40s-50s most of it with one week of cold spell (teens). Here, you don't buy/use winter tires. There is no reason to even if it's the ideal thing for one day all year...you make a compromise b/c it makes practical sense like all the folks here that aren't using dedicated summer performance tires when it's warmer and make that compromise in outright dry grip. You accept your all seasons' shortcomings and focus on the driving skill required to drive on them that day (defensive, slow, large following distances) or as someone mentioned above, you may actually choose not to drive depending on traffic etc. to avoid the disaster it usually is. This is where I am in this convo and have been the 34 years I've driven in the mid-Atlantic region. I've taugh 2/3 children to do the same here without issue. Slow down. Leave a lot of room. Anticipiate what you will do if the person in front slides or the person in back slides toward you at a stop light...tomorrow the snow will be gone and it may be 65 and I better swap out to my summers!
