Lastly, snows would only be required if the majority of the time the roads in your commute is snow packed. If 80% of the time it's dry or just wet, can't imagine snow tires giving you anything.
Winter tires (not snows) give you better grip when it's cold also, not just in the snow. The 80% of the time when it's cold and dry they are better also.
