I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you there... I've been commuting on a vintage road bike through Detroit, Michigan for 5 years now I find the knobby tires just collect snow in the treads and I've never had an issue running Continental Gatorskins. I even rode 13 miles to work in 8" of freshly fallen snow...Only took 15 more minutes than usual.
