I’ve been driving in PA winters for 20 years this year. I always thought snow tires were unnecessary, as I often did fine with all seasons. My wife teaches in a pretty rural school district and insisted on them. The first year we were married, so we got them. One day during a pretty bad snowstorm I had to drive to a client site to fix some thing. I decided to take her car since it had snow tires on it, and I was blown away by the performance. We now both get snow tires on our cars every year. absolutely worth the money in my opinion. I’m glad I listened to her.

Tbh I used to only have all seasons when I lived in Buffalo but their snow response is pretty phenomenal so the roads would be bad but they’d get cleared real quick

This. Most people who say all-seasons are sufficient never drove on modern snow tires. I have studded tires from my time in Maine now and they're even better, especially on ice. They are louder obviously but I'll take performance over noise.
