Thanks for all the replies. I was leaning toward some real snow tires. I'd 
only need them for 2-3 months at most. And even then, I don't (need to) 
drive the truck every day.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am a damn yankee - born & raised in 
Massachusetts - so I am used to driving in snow. But I did have real snow 
tires back then. I even had studded snow tires on my MGA when it was my only 
car/daily driver. In fact, I never got stuck driving the MGA in the winter. 
Not warm but not stuck either...
