I wouldn't be worried about handling in snow as I am sure the boxster is a champ but these are the three reasons I would never drive my boxster in winter.

1) There are many idiots on the road and slippery conditions just exagerate their mistakes and stupidity, so them hitting you is always a possibility, and there is nothing you can do about it.

2) Salt. Just eats your car.

3) Extreme cold, which causes your parts to shrink and increases chance of some damage to internal engine components, especially on start.

The first two reasons are enough to make me put my car away.
