winter tires vs, all season

[Perfectlap]

ok I'm lazy and I'm dreading the idea of winter tires on 18" wheels. I don't drive very hard once Autocross season is gone most of the time people are usually passing me. I don't trust other motorist as far as I can toss them.

again, I've got 18" wheels and the idea of buying winter and all seasons is really not poplular with me.

Can I run winter tires (never owned them, just keep the car parked when its
bad weather) for fall and winter?
I'm thinking of running the winter tires from now (September) and mounting summer tires during spring. Probably 5-7K miles (weekends only) for each stint.
All season tires just seem like a compromise/useless during winter/bad winter and useless for autocross. A big waste me thinks but cold temps and make summer tires just as useless once the thermometer drops below 60.
To all skip all season altogether or not? hmm..
