They still cover you.. basically they have more reasons to find you at fault.. driving without considering the weather / equipment etc. Unless of course you drove where snow tires / chains were mandatory with your summer slicks.

And I definitely wouldn't run SUMMER tires in the winter like I've seen out there.

:LOL: I am hoping for a badass winter this time. I miss the snow when most people don't drive and my commute to work is just about perfect, with a little (slow) controlled drift on some corners.

The only reason i'd want a snow storm is so I dont have to go to work

THE ONLY REASON FOR LOTS OF SNOW IS NO SCHOOL! EVERYONE LOVES SNOW DAYS!
