Remember the good old days when people who lived in climates that snowed kept two sets of tires? One set was snow tires for the winter, and the other set was for the summer. Then the so-called all-season tires came along, with the claim that they would be good for "all-seasons". The sad reality is that they're a compromise for all conditions, so that they're not really great for ANY season.
If you get into serious snow, you need tires designed specifically for snow for optimal performance. It's a hassle to change tires when the seasons change, but it really does work better.
Blizzaks are excellent tires in the snow, but they wear out fast on dry pavement.

In Europe it's perfectly normal to have two sets of tires. I have the Coopers for the winter and Generals for the summer. I bought the Aerostar with Michelin All Seasons. They were no good on snow. I got stuck fairly often and had to put on the chains.
