We used to ride in snow all the time. Yes, ruts are horrible and throw
you of quite easily but new snow, and hard pack are fine.

Knobby mountain bike tires work great, but make sure that the tread is
far appart. If the treads are close together, snow builds up in them,
and then it's just snow on snow. Not good.

Here's an old bmx trick. You need one of those tire liners like Mr.
tuffy or any other puncture protecting products, and some wood or sheet
metal screws about an eight of an inch longer than the knobs.

From the inside of the tire you screw threw the knobs so that you begin
to make studs in the tire. Make sure the screws are counter-sunk into
the tire so that they don't put preassure on the tube. Put you tire
liners in and away you go. You can by stud kits for tires but this works
just as well and cost less and its fun to do. Good luck
