I lived in Oakton. Commuted around 10 miles to Herndon. Drove a Boxster 90% of the days. At the same time, I had a job I could skip if I wanted to and a 4WD car I could get into if I needed to and my wife had her car.
I think if I had snow tires for the Boxster or even all-seasons, I could have driven it all but 2 days a year most winters. And those were days when no one was moving. (I lived in a cul-de-sac where I used my snow blower to clear a path for the whole neighborhood to the main street which was cleared only because a local politician lived on that route.)
But by all means do get those tires and wheels. There is one less Boxster running around because I didn't for my first Boxster.
What better car could you get for the maybe $10k yours is worth? OTOH, it is a 16 year old car with low miles neither of which is great for reliability.
