After getting stuck in a warm (low 30s, upper 20s) the first year that I owned my car, I bought wheels and snow tires (228/50-18) from TireRack and drove 8 winters on them.
The car is actually quite fun in the snow if you have good tires. Don't go for All-season. Get full snow tires.
I still have a couple of the original snow tires that I bought in January of 2010. The only reason that I don't have all 4 is that I got assorted sharp pieces of metal in a couple of them.
IIRC I got about 27,000 on my original summer tires. Buy a tread depth gauge.
