its doeable. I took mine up snowboarding in Idaho during a snowstorm before. I just had some crappy wheels on, put studded tires on it and put aroun 80lbs worth of sandbags in the trunk. I didnt have a single problem untill i wanted to!

I love driving on snow and ice, I guess in CO you just get used to it and learn to have fun with it. But anyways, I've just got some 215/60/16 snow tires and my 5.0 loves snow and ice, just have fun with it, don't be scared.

I've taken mine out a few times in the winter with some sandbags in the back...
Last winter in Connecticut we had the day off from school, about 6 inches of snow on the roads, and I wanted to go sledding...alls I had at the house was my mustang, so of course I took it out
Was a lot of fun, the only problem was getting up big hills with snow on them...and then getting out from the curb I was parked next to..luckily my friends were there to push a little

if you have snow tires and drive smart it's no problem at all. My car went through snow great and i had 245 wide tires on it, and I didnt have any extra weight in the back. Only problem you may have is going up a steep hill with snow on it like someone else said, but everything else is very doable.

i love living in ga where theres half a inch of snow and everyone freaks out and stays at home. people stay at home=less people on the road 
it'll snow close to a inch and we are out of school for two days lol, i love it! sucks for you guys living up north, have to deal with the crappy winters and the hot summers, well this summer was hot anyways. i am just glad it only snows about 2 times during the winter in ga, but again it sucks not having snow
