The best thing you can do for driving in the snow is get dedicated snow tires. And drive slow.

There's no safe way to drive in the snow. Unless your driving a plow

Sprints with Stillen Lip = snow plow.... i can vouche for that


but in all seriousness, get some good snow tires and take it easy. You dont have a heavy drop so there should be no worries when it snows heavily. I take my front lip off when it snows 6 or more inches only cause i need the extra clearance up front.
