I know you didn't want brand advise, but I would go with the Nokian WR in the winter and a dedicated summer performance tire the rest of the year. It sounds like you want that summer performance, and I've found that it's worth it. I have Nokian V summer tires, and the wet road braking and dry road handling is phenomenal. But WR would still give you some of that performance, better than many dedicated snows, and would handle the volume of snow that you get. As far as expense, overall it's not so bad, as you're only wearing down one set of tires at a time. And changing your wheels allows you to get a look at your brakes and suspension twice a year.
