7ºC is the key.
It’s not about snow and ice, it’s about temperature.
Because around 7ºC, the rubber compound used in an all-season (or summer) tire, that rubber loses elasticity, and therefore, grip. Now you’re driving on pucks.
Proof You Need Snow Tires in 15 Seconds
If winter tires grip that much more on concrete, imagine the snow and ice. And remember, it’s about the temperature, not if there’s snow on the ground.
The rule is: once it’s 7ºC or colder, snow tires should be on.

I really did lose my snowtires, eh. I can’t believe it, like, I don’t even lose bobby pins.
I’ve searched three cities and tonight got a text back from my last place to check, nothing. It’s the dumbest mystery ever and it’s bugging the crap out of me.
Anyway, this is my 2010 Happy Meal Collection that until August was stored under the passenger seat.
