I would not drive summer tire in the snow for sure.
(done that with my 07 GTI with Potenze re050, I drove from Urbana to Chicago in snow storm. Only reason I made it in one piece was that I was super lucky.)

It does not matter of being careful or moving slow. It just does not move in the direction where you want to go at any speed.

With all season, you can drive safely at 20 mph or so. At least it moves to the direction where you pointing at that speed.
