Considering snow tires in SE Michigan

So we got 6 inches of snow today and my Continental CH95 all-seasons did alright but I'm thinking of buying snow tires. At my local dealer, I can get 16" 3-spokers from the 1999 9-5 and snow tires for $220 a wheel. (I really just want the wheels, but the deal makes me think that snow tires might be a good idea). I think I'm just rationalizing.
I'm a little hesitant to buy the snow tires/wheels because it doesn't snow here that often near Detroit. I'm worried about clear road driving characteristics of snow tires. Are they generally much louder? Does handling suffer noticeably with the same tire size (205/55R16)? How much will my fuel economy suffer?
Any recommendations or information are appreciated.
Thanks,
Atul
