I live in Nassau County and I use my car everyday to drive to Westbury distance of 10 miles or so each way. I did buy from the dealer a whole winter tire package. Continentals with the 17'' alloys for 2200. Silver Star in Mineola stores the 18" carreras for $350/year or the winter tires.. The high performance tires in snow are useless. The streets I drive on are usually cleaned right away and the highway is also cleaned. What little snow I've driven on the car handles like the old VW bug. So patience is the key and never step on the accelarator hard.
Overall I'm happy the way it comports itself in the snow but I would never take the car in blizzard conditions with lots of snow on the ground.
