Summer or all season ?
Was it just starting to snow and road was wet only ?

From experience I find this scenario hard to believe (and actually dangerous advice to give) if there was any snow accumulation on the road. With my RWD, I can't even get out of the driveway, can't turn, can't get any traction at all. Car is simply useless and cannot be driven with high performance summer tires on the snow. No issue anywhere else with good winter tires at all for me.
