We see snow only once or twice a year.
Are the more consistently near the lower or higher end of that range?

IMO it's always best to do two sets of wheels/tires if you have a winter that isn't suited to summer tires. You'll get to enjoy your car much more in both seasons with properly suited tires. "No-seasons" leave you feeling pretty "meh" all the time. But if it's more often in the 40-50 range, all-seasons might be suited to your use.
