best "non snow" tire in snow?

So between "all weather tires" that have the snow symbol and your regular all season tires, which model is the best in snow for those who cant run dedicated snow tires? My reserach suggests the nokian all weather, but wanted to see what others thought. thanks!

Which Nokian tires are you thinking about specifically?

In general the Michelin Cross Climate 2 does pretty well (I have them on mine) in snow and ice and is available in the standard 20" 275/45-20 tire size.

Honestly I can't believe how good in actual heavy snow the stock Pirelli tires are. I was subjected to a 4' snowfall (the orange), it was 3' on the ground when I was driving home. It was deep enough with my air suspension on full up that it was going over my hood a few times in the drifts. [IMG][/IMG] (driveway view was only half of what we received that day, made the national news).
