Never used snow tires on the Alero, but considering them for the Volvo so it's not like a rally car in the snow.

Haven't used snow tires since 1978. Real men know how to handle a car in snow.

Never been stuck and the only accident I ever had was in summer. Drove 50K per year on average as a salesman in Snowy/Icy Chicago. Knowing how to control your vehicle and its limitations is a must.

I drove my Miata in the snow/ice once and it has Summer performance tires on it. The back end would kick out a little bit if you went too fast when turning as it's RWD, but it was nothing that wasn't easily manageable.
You live in an area that gets a lot more snow than me though so I could see why you would want winter tires for the added traction/peace of mind, but you could still drive on the Summer tires depending on the situation.
