I don't think winter tires make much of a difference in deep snow. You simply need chains then.

They do make an enormous difference when the road is covered with a thin layer of snow, just below freezing. Fresh winter tires have almost as much grip on that as on dry tarmac, summer or all season tires behave like they are on ice.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
