Haywain, very similar scenario to you, missus is a nurse, drives about 6k a year.
After our 2 bad winters I replaced her front tyres (which were needing replaced anyway) with all seasons (Kleber quadraxers) if memory serves me right. This is on a FWD Beetle.
This was not to get through 4 foot drifts but simply to make sure she got to and from work ok - work is down a steepish hill and she works shifts so out early in morning and home late at night when roads are quieter so less tracks in snow.
Only downside was that she hit a bad pothole and the tyre bulged on the sidewall so had to replace with another quadraxer which took a day to arrive at tyre place.
have encountered absolutely zilch issues with backs being on normal tyres at same time.
