I'm sure someone has done it. Someone on earth has done just about every bad idea imaginable and gotten away with it. But no, don't do it, it's really a bad idea.
I'm not going to jump on bigjae's case here, b/c he's clearly not trying to run them in the actual snow. But if there's any snow accumulation on the road, summer tires can be seriously unsafe. And sometimes you just can't get going at all, so it's safe but futile. See blankstar's post above. 1 inch of snow and he only made it 1/2 block.
I would either get some sort of temporary solution for snowy days, like autosock (
