Studded tyre just up front?

Considering getting a Schwalbe Marathon Winter studed tyre for my commuter. It will be used on 100% flat ground. Is it OK to just get one studded tyre - for the front wheel. Snow seldom stays long round where I live, so I'd hate to change tyres often, or buy extra set of wheels. My idea is riding studded tyre just up front and inflating it to high pressure when snow melts for those 2 winter months. Or getting just one extra wheel - front one.

Is it smart/safe? Has anyone experimented? I run Schwalbe Marathon 37x700c tyres now.
