I think these are the ones.
26" Nokian Hakkapeliitta W106, made in Finland. These folks know snow.
Schwalbe has a decent one as well, less tread more studs. The tread is good for snow but kinda worthless on ice. I find ice to be more of a problem. In recent years snow/ice has not been a problem. If one is riding on bike trails, sidewalks and bike path then these are essential. Check out Peter Whites site for a good breakdown.
