Difference is pretty big if it’s icy like breaking 100 meters vs 10 meters. Especially if there’s wildlife like reindeers/moose’s you are going to do emergency breathing semi regularly.

If it's icy there's no difference at all. The only tyres that do anything on ice are the ones with spikes or chains.

If it's snowy a good modern all weather tyre can hold its own, but will brake a few feet later than a good winter tyre.

In all other conditions a good all weather is a lot better than winter tyres, and pretty close to a good summer tyre.
