Well I see two purchases in your future. One is a discounted set of snows manufactured a year or two ago to take you through this winter. The other is a set of tires to match your new needs when you move.

All the winters you listed are fine entries. If I had to choose, probably Arctic 12s, but at the same price point as those you could run Blizzak WS80s (Found for $130 on Amazon and Walmart) for two seasons. Both will have some used value, so it really comes down to whether you're willing to accept the slightly shortened lifespan of the rubber on the WS80, and once you move even a 50% WS80 with the specialty tread gone can be useful in low temps so you can run a dedicated summer set.
