I am looking for feedback on driving my 01 986S through the PA winter this year...maybe some pros & cons.

I bought the car with the intention of always driving it and made sure to get one with PSM but after owning it this summer I am second guessing it.

My plan is to get some dedicated snow tires (and maybe wheels) and a hardtop if I can afford one.

Any recommendations for tires? I would love to do some Pirelli P nero zero's but am afraid they wont cut it and may have to go with actual snow tires (blizzaks?).

Does the boxster handle the snow? I have no intention of driving it in deep snow only in light snow when I have to...how about the rag top if I can't get a hardtop?

Any experience would be greatly appreciated.
