Do you know of any extremely "grippy" road tires? Thanks!
Based on my experience on Sunday, Cross tires are not what you need for snow riding, at least not the ones I have....

I used to ride in the snow on my MTB with no issues, but it had full nobbies. My cross bike has Conti Speed Kings and they were almost worthless in the snow, not enough tread in the middle. Maybe ones with a more aggressive tread might work for you?
