I'm quite pleased with my Nokian Hakka Q's.  They can be very 
squirrely(sp?) due to the spiral-siped tread, especially when brand 
new; it's a very odd feeling and takes getting used to.  In cold 
weather, they're much more stable than they are in warmer(40 degree+) 
weather.

They handle pretty much any snow conditions nicely, and when they 
break loose they tend to do so rather progressively, and 'find' 
traction again quickly.  I don't have any experience with other snow 
tires to compare them to, but compared to all-seasons, it's a night 
and day difference.
