Dude, snow will **** up your paint.

Snow is water, just a little bit colder.
Though the Salt that they use to get rid of the snow/ice on the roads will "eat" the car, but I have done an undercoating + sealer for the car, and I wash it several times a week!

I drive mine all winter. I have Dunlop wintersport 235/55/17 snow tires mounted on the factory bullitts. They work great.
I find the traction control system in these cars to be very effective without being invasive at all....the '03 GT I had before I got my '06 was not nearly as good in the snow. The olderTCS was inferior, in my opinion. It was very "sudden" and not smooth at all like my new car. I actually had the TCS shut off through a predator on the old car.
The car is good in the snow but winter is hell on your paint. My car is black and it looks TERRIBLE!!!! I will have to completely strip off the wax andbuff the wholecar in the spring.
Thankfully, my car gets to live in the garage nowso I don't get the snow and icebuilding up on it like I used to when it lived outside.

For the OP, I do. You see Winter is a non-event here in Florida. It's that period right after the hurricanes where the citrus fruit ripens. It's been is the low 70s to low 80s the past few weeks and I've driven to work every day with the top down. 
Just another boring day in paradise.
