I've lived it (these were proper studded snow tires). The improvement is there any very tangible but there's a reason I put the wife in the AWD one. I agree that tread depth is massively important in the slushy conditions that commutes in the snow devolve into. You need that depth to provide a path for the "thick water" to GTFO so you're not hydroplaning on slush.
