You absolutely should NOT mix winter tires with different seasonal tire (eg, winters on the rear, summer up front). As stated on numerous tire sales websites, this can lead to a dangerous traction imbalance.

Summer tires become more rock-like as the temp drops. You can certainly use them in 40F dry weather, but they won't have the same grip as in 80F weather. Traction will be reduced but summer tires in 40F DRY weather isn't unsafe.
