First time driving a 'Box' in the snow.

I know, not an earth-shattering snowfall like you guys up north get, but still a pretty good little drop that's slimy and slushy, and freezes the minute it hits the ground.
It hit in the middle of my trip to the next town to pick up a relative and take them to the tire shop to pick up their car.
The Boxster handled it fine, stable and predictable, long as you kept it slow. I can't say the same for the idiots around me (well, at least two idiots). One slid off of old 77 right in front of me because he failed to slow down on the S-curve. The other in an SUV, again, right in front of me, tried to-of all things-pass the car in front of her because they were only going 25mph. She quickly learned why as she spun out in slo-mo, nearly hitting all of us, and landed in the ditch on the opposite side of the road.
