Last November I put on a set of Nokian WRG3 tires on. They have a real
snow rating and yet are year round capable, even to speeds over 140 mph.
Best tires I ever had. They were designed for year round use in North
America.

Most of New England has good snow plowing though. If I can get out of
my driveway, I can drive most anywhere with decent tires.
