My experience with the previous version of that tire (RE960AS Pole Position) on a different car was terrible in the snow as well. Barely better than a summer tire - I mean genuinely scary while creeping around in 1/2" of snow.

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.
