That means nothing. A dedicated winter is 1000x better than any all season or all terrain tire that just so happens to have a snow flake on it. Take it from someone who works in a tire shop.

My 215/35/18 pirelli P zero nero had a snowflake on it. I'm not sure what an italian snowstorm looks like, but they sure as shit weren't cut out for any snow I've seen.

^ a snowflake, or the mountain/snowflake symbol?
Dedicated winter > Mountain/Snowflake all seasons > M+S all seasons. That said both my current Duratracs and previous KO's never had any problems no matter where I've taken them, so personally I wouldn't bother with dedicated winters on a truck/SUV unless you drive through some really nasty stuff on the regular.

I thought about an A/T tire but where I am you would want to run full-on winter tires because the highways don't necessarily get plowed that well, and it gets to -20c on the regular. The A/T tires don't really flex well at those temperatures... And it gets nasty pretty regularly around here. The A/T tires are probably good at getting going in snow, or even deep snow, but I need something that can also turn and stop really well in winter weather/icy roads. My local friends don't recommend running BFG K/O2s or even studded Duratracs for winter, it's not good enough.
My house is also on a very steep hill, and it gets very icy after a freeze/thaw cycle in the winter. You can probably see the reflection of the fire hall badge on the truck, I'm a volunteer firefighter. I need to get down to the fire hall as quickly as possible at like 2AM or 3AM in the morning when the road hasn't necessarily been sanded/salted - while being in complete or mostly in control. 
Here are some pictures of my previous vehicle (Subaru Forester XT) in the winter. That had Nokian Hakkapelliitaa R2 SUV winter tires - the best studless tires available.

Good thing I put those last 11 words or I'd look like a dick
Props for being a volunteer FF, I know that's something not many of us could do.
