In the past I mounted my Nokian studs on my regular commuter. But this year I bought an old (but decent) Specialized Mountain bike for $200 and threw the studs on that. That is now my "winter bike". I haven't ridden it in about a week now but it's ready should I need it. In a few weeks I expect I'll feel able to give it a tune-up, lube it up and pack it away until next December but not yet.
