Says the man who used to equip his WRX with Falken Azenis.
Let me repeat myself, I don't think anyone would argue they "need" a summer tire just like no one here "needs" a sports car when a Geo Metro will get you from point A to point B just the same.
I just don't think it snows enough here for it to be that big of an issue. Sure, you shouldn't be running around on Hoosiers but if you've got a fwd or awd car and you're running on something that has a bit of tread like a 712 you'll be fine. I got around fine in my Integra with that tire when I lived in Harrisonburg where it snowed a lot more than it does here.
