IMO, for central PA, winter tires will give you peace of mind.

You'll curse the season if it doesn't snow, it will seem like a waste of money. However, you'll want to kiss your winter tires when you get back and forth from work without issue. Everyone else will be slipping and sliding, you'll be cruising and asking "is that all you can do?!"

Could always trade that FWD for an efficient AWD with high quality all-seasons and you would have a similar experience as having winter tires on a FWD.

How about it. I have the feeling as soon as I buy winter tires the sun will come out and the birds will be singing. I thought about getting an additional vehicle just for bad days that's AWD but the Corolla gets near 40 mpg that's hard to give up. Thanks for your response.
