So just a few things, your RWD is also rear/mid engine which helps significantly in a similar fashion to FWD. I have had the pleasure (not really) to have lived for almost 60 years in Canada with about 45 years of driving experience. Winter tires are the way to go for a number of reasons that are pretty common knowledge. I have had AWD with all season when living in the city and I got buy with them 95% of the time, but frankly when there was heavy snow or ice they were shit, and they weren't the best in summer either. They are a compromise in every scenario. I know have a small SUV with good ground clearance, AWD and proper Winter tires. I have complete confidence in this set up, deep snow, slush, icy roads and they are pretty good on dry pavement. Regarding the cost, they are on the truck about 5 months of the year, so besides the initial outlay of cash you end up doubling the life of your summer tires. Happy winter driving, and it's snowing right now dammit.
