Yes, two proper sets of seasonal tires because with all-seasons you only fooling yourself.
As someone who knows what snow / ice is and drives in it all the time you should try some modern tires.
They have made SERIOUS improvements to all seasons. The triple treads are as good in ice and almost (within 5-10%) of my dedicated snows.
I was in such a bad snow storm that had 4x4 trucks stuck (took 6 hours to go 50 miles) and the "all seasons" NEVER slipped going up serious grades (the freeways were closed, frontage roads with blowing snow were you only way to get through).
I used to think like you do, but I've learned that they do make all seasons that actually work... In all seasons.
