A ONE-WHEEL-DRIVE car with good snows will out run your quattro with summers ...
Summer tires DO NOT work in snow or cold, they are not designed (bother rubber type and tread) to work on snow/ice at all. This means you will only have traction based on luck, not physics or friction!

dont listen to these guys, you can totally do it.
besides, it'll be fun crashing your car when you lose control.
A) buy snow tires!!!! you'll love them and can use them season after season so you dont have this problem again
B) have one of your bitch *** friends drive. why do we always have to drive? just cuz my friends might have a ****tier car doesnt mean we have to take the good one!
i have driven on summer tires in the snow. IT SUCKS!!!!! you will be lucky if you go anywhere. make sure you have audi roadside's number handy.

Your driving style has the most to do with it.
I live in Colorado and drive up to snowboard at least 25-30 times a winter. True I drive with All seasons on, but so much more of it depends on how you drive vs. what you drive. I've driven the biggest POS cars with fully summer tires on in snow no problem, and seen big SUVs with mudders on spinning out because they drive like morons. The real tip here is to be careful, drive cautiously for once. You can tolerate an extra 15-20 mins of drive time because you are taking it easy, vs sitting in a ditch waiting for a tow truck and having my *** drive by laughing at you
