Post what kind of snow tires ?

Question, will getting snow tires help? I am in the bay area and plan to go up to the snow alot this season. I have 19's with ground controls and i dont want to be a "snow plow" like one of the other post said. I plan to raise up the car and put the stock rims on. Are snow tires expensive? Whats a good brand and size? is it worth it considering my stock tires have 90% tread? Ii just want to be safe in the sierra..
Thanks for the help..

Well I got my 4MICHELIN Arcctic Alpin last week I got them from the TIRE RACK. The price per tire was $89ea I will mount them on my stock wheels because I have the optional factory chrome wheels.I got this tire because of what it says it can do & my needs.Here in Washington DC. we don't get much snow every year but chances are you will get a large amount every 3years.They predict the east might be hit this year.This tire trades a little snow & ice traction for higher speed driving & dry road handling.When you go to the Tire Rack web tirerack.com &go to winter tires they have what each can do.
