It depends a lot on what tires you have. Some studless tires can be pretty decent. Studs will absolutely let you climb more when it gets icy or even some types of hard pack, and they will keep you riding faster and off your ass in slick conditions. For the freeze/thaw we get, I would just get studs as soon as they are attainable so you can maximize the fun you'll get out of the bike purchase you made.
