I certainly have been riding them when the ground was still visible here and there. I certainly rode them when there was a thin layer of fresh snow, maybe even 1.5-2". However, if the latter stayed on, I'd switch to more serious tires. They behave OK provided I lower the pressure consistently with the conditions. Also, I have not been trying to challenge them, besides experimentation, i.e. to ride onto extended patches of ice.
For me, it is actually nominally 3rd season with TopContact Winter. However, during the first season I only had one Winter I and I managed to use it maybe for 10 days of winter weather or so - I still rode it then maybe for month+ then as an insurance against the winter weather.
