No you should not have a problem with your conv. top in winter. Ideally your Box should be in a garage but if not brush snow off with a soft snow brush.

I bought blizzak snow tires secondhand and a spare set of Porsche rims that came off a 911. They are 16 inch rims/tires but they were cheap enough I did not care. Unfortunately there is less body clearance than with my 17 inch summer tires but the snow tires work well in winter. My 2001 Boxster base has no psm. I have driven one winter so far with no problems so certainly do not push the limits like I do in summer especially cornering. The car feels more substantial than my previous 99 Miata MX5. I now have heated seats for our Can. winters. Starting is no problem. No block heater needed. If no snow depth is a problem - more than say 3 inches, I use my wife's Camry. Enjoy!
