I completely get the traction vs. handling debate. The thing with a Boxster in snow (with snow tires), it that does fine for daily use. In the daily winter driving conditions you'll face in most of the US your going to face 1-2" of snow, mostly plowed roads, and the occasional storm.
The Boxster does just fine in those conditions. Now if you want to go driving in 4+" of unplowed snow you need a Jeep. It may not be as good as an AWD car but in most conditions you'll be just fine, especially because of the low center of gravity and 50/50 balance.

Just take a look at these two pictures:

I have a modified A4 as a DD with a set of winter tires. The A4 by far is the most unbelievable car in the snow. I've had it for 9 years now! 190k flawless miles. The Box gets stored in the winter as soon as the winter wheels go on the A4. I love Porsches, but for winter weather the Audi Quattro gets my vote. In dry or summer conditions the Box is hands down the choice over the TT. My good friend has the TT... and I can tell you that the Box is much more of a true sports car.
