I hate to see it driving in the snow or the rain. It should be ok as long as you take it easy no sport mode. I Definitely wouldn't recommend snow driving in this car. but if it's your daily driver, that sucks. 
I'm in the Puyallup Covington area. mine is on toyo R888 summer track tires. they work fine for me, but my car rarely sees rain only take it out on cold clear winter days. just to keep the batteries charged. quick Cruz to work sometimes mainly drive it in the summer months.

They do not handle it well, I seem to recall they lose a ton of traction once the temperature drops below 40 degrees. I think it was drivable, but you need to be very careful if it is wet + cold.
Mainly saying this because I had a really hard time getting the AS tires I wanted, and ended up driving OEM tires all the way through December last year.
I'm currently running Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 all year round right now, but definitely considering getting a 2nd set of wheels so I can swap out depending on season.

I've got Continental DWS 06+ all seasons on my OEMs for winter, and a summer set on some Titan TS5s.

OEMs are like hockey pucks below 45 degrees.

I love my DWS06+
I went on a road trip last week from Dallas to Eureka Springs, AR. I left Dallas in the pouring rain and arrived in Eureka Springs where it was cold, but dry and sunny. Woke up the next day to find snow on the ground and temps in the 20s. Went for a drive and it handled the twisties just fine without much warm up time!
Definitely the best tire if you have only one set and live in areas where temperature fluctuations are frequent and rampant.

I finally got my winters on this week, but the few days before when I was on OEM, I was slipping everywhere, even when the road appeared to be clear of any snow. Had an especially scary incident where I was at a red light on a steep uphill and the back wheels spun when trying to get moving

Sorry for my french language.
By whytf even you need to drive with summer tires which doesnt work at all at positive 7 degrees celsius( sorry i do not understand F shit) and run like a cow on ice?
It is just killing yourself/car.
Btw in north EU insurance will not pay any money if you were in summer tires in winter even if you are not guilty in accident.
Just trying to understand you guys. GL HF and have a nice beer.
