Are all season tires enough for the 8 driving in Vancouver's winter? or are snow tires a MUST?

Do you regularly get large snows, 2 inches +, multiple times a year? (Don't flame me for the large = 2 inches +, I know it's not that much) If your answer is yes, which I figure being a canuk it will be, then the answer to your question is yes. All seasons will get you through light snows that are only on the roads before they run the plow and salt. OOtherwise, save yourself and get a set of winter wheels with winter tires mounted and ready to change into at the beginning of the winter season.
