1. for snow of any depth what-so-ever, Nokian Hakkapeliitta. I've had 2 sets of the original version (aka "1") and they are *incredible*. Be aware, however, that in trade for this you get a tire that generates some noise and, most importantly, is a bit "loose" at freeways speed straight ahead and downright squirrely-dangerous if you (in a fit of Saab lust) push them through a corner hard. They also tended to hydroplane on standing water on the freeway. Overall, they were excellent for cross-country, go anywhere winter travel regardless of dumping snows.
2. although not as prolific in deep snow (but still quite good, had them in as much as 13" +/- drifting), the Blizzak is a sweet snow/winter tire. I've changed to them because they are far more sure-footed in wet/slushy city traffic, including patchy evening ice (re: start, stop, off ramps, etc). Also quiet, and surprisingly decent when spring rolls around - you won't mind buring up the last bit of life in an old set by running them into spring.
