Order snow tires if you don't have some already. I just got Pirelli Snow Sports (Porsche approved) and the guy at the tire rack says they get more expensive as the supply starts to decrease. I've been in rain that quickly turned into snow halfway into my drive.
Anyhoo that "I have my very own Porsche" never really goes away. I've known guys who have owned many Porsches over the years and they still look up to the brand and the heritage (if not the company run by greedy arrogant bastards..ahem as many say). They don't really have that feeling for other brands except for maybe Ferrari (the few who could afford to maintain such a car).
Before I had the Boxster I did allot of Autocrossing with the POrsche Club (the wine and cheese crowd as I called them back then) and I got very very used to seeing all manner of Porsches 911, 914, Boxster. It became very common place for me so when I got mine it didn't seem so "out this world dream come true" situation. But then the comments started flooding in. I would bump into someone I hadn't spoken into in years and they said "I heard you have Porsche now"
About a million "you have my dream car" comments and even one nice blonde girl pulled over when I was pulling out of a parking spot to tell me "I just want to say you have the sexiest car".
The funny thing is I never considered it a dream car. Just a good alternative to an S2000, MazdaSpeed Turbo Miata or Z4. Dream car for me would be a Maserati Gran Sport Coupe in pearl white or a Ferrari 360 in Yellow.
p.s.
Growing up I wanted a Black Trans Am with the stupid bird on the hood like in the movie "Smokey and The Bandit" or a silver 928 (Scarface).
