Lucid, yes it's definately worth the extra money to get some good winter tires. Blizzaks are one of the best to get (if not the best).
However, if you want them to last you a good couple seasons. Go out and buy some winter steelies (cheap hub-cap covering wheels) and wrap the blizzaks on those. Once spring rolls around (no pun intended) just put your stock wheels back on with your normal/all season tires on them.
Also, if you drive a Manual transmission vehicle. Learn or start using 'engine breaking' more in severe weather situations. Going 50MPH into 30MPH traffic might be very difficult or impossible to stop the car with break pumping or lockup alone. If you're in 5th gear, quickly dump the tranny into 3rd (or 2nd dependant of vehicle) and the car will bog down and slow the car quite effectively even in the worst weather conditions.
EDIT: Doh! I didn't read entire thread before making a response. It's seems you've already got the bases covered for replacement winter wheels and tires.
