I ran into some unexpected snow/slush/ice with my current car with the factory Pirelli P7 Cinturato all season RFT and it did fine, nothing like a snow tire but way better than the RE960AS. You can't fly around like you can on snow tires, but as long as you're careful about cornering speeds and allow for longer braking distances they're perfectly fine in lighter stuff.

Apparently the Continental ExtremeContact DWS is a really good all-season tire for snow, but I've never tried them.
P7's worked well for me as an all season... And in one snow storm.

After Nemo, so glad I got snow tires though...
