oxymoron: dry snow tire?

[LL - NY]

Nokian WR. It's Nokian's "All-Season" but it's biased towards
snow performance (i.e. ranks maybe mid-pack against dedicated
studless snows) but can handle extended use at warmer temps.
Handles (apparently, I've always had dedicated snows such as
the RSi) more like a sloppy All-Season, rather than as a dedicated
snow, so that's your trade-off. Oh that, and the price.
