I don't understand the people who are saying just don't drive in a snow storm. I mean does it not snow during the day in their minds or something? What if you're out getting lunch and a storm starts up? IMO you can get by without them, but it really depends on the weather. It got really icey about a month ago with barely any snow and I was skidding at some points, and had to cut my day short and go home, although afterward in scenarios like that the roads are usually fine after more cars drive on them and the salt trucks make their rounds. As for the hill aspect, there are routes you can go to avoid the bigger hills, but it's still slightly hilly.
