I got yokohomas all season tires, did just fine with michellin last winter with the storm. Drive slow and you will be fine.

Driving slow is very crucial especially because of black ice. Black ice is x100 scarier then just snow itself. Especially at night time when you can't see the patches of black ice.

^ if things all wet and black you won't see the black ice either. The only thing that can deal with ice is sand and maybe snow chain.
