Yes, the south, even Atlanta does get snow/ice on occasion but it's usually very short lived...it's usually a matter of a few hours before temps are back above freezing.
While it's true that all vehicles are affected by snow/ice; there is no doubt that some vehicles are far more affected than others...I have an all-wheel drive M45 which I've had occasion this year to substantiate that it is much more sure-footed on snow than a rear-wheel drive only model...I've had many 4x4 Trucks/SUVs over the years and they all are far better (although not invincible) in snow/ice.
If I wanted a Z (or any other sports car) badly enough then I can certainly live with it as my only vehicle; but it's not an ideal situation.
