As Andy said, winter conditions are like craft cocktails! And, as a result, what works in some conditions might be terrible in others. For me, those conditions regularly varied between my morning ride to work and my evening ride home. Others have covered the broad range, but I will add one point. I found that 2.1" Marathon tires were deadly in slush. They had just enough float that at any speed above walking pace the front would float up off the underlying pavement or ice/snow pack, and the traction then would match the mythical frictionless surface of physics. With all the salt that is used on roads here, temps can be pretty well below freezing and we still have mostly slush, so I found that skinnier tires worked much better. Unfortunately, that means that when dealing with frozen ruts, there's a lot more bone shaking going on. Nokian W106 (700x35) on my Quickbeam were the best combo I ever used for commuting in Milwaukee.
