I definitely wouldn't recommend 70 mph with any amount of snow on the ground! Very easy to lose control and if you do you're not going to slow down very quickly... you'll hit something HARD!

Just as an update. Itssnowing today and guess who took his Z to work? This guy! Anyways,slow accelerations and maintaining steady speed is always the key. We dont have quite an inch on the roads...mostly slush but I never spun or slipped once. I did exactly the speed limit however. Still on my summer tires as well. Will keep everyone posted.

I don't know if the 370 is any better in the snow than the 350 on stock tires, but the 350 is was absolutely a no-go with any snow or slush on the ground. I got caught driving my 350 to work when it started snowing and with about .5" accumulation and traction control on, the car was driving sideways just to go straight and I was having to start from a stop in 4th gear very carefully.

Keep in mind this was with stock Bridgestones. I am sure with snow tires that it would be fine, no worse than a BMW or other RWD cars.

I only bought my 370 in April '12 so I haven't had it out for any inclement weather yet. Instead of snow tires I'm just looking to buy a crappy $500 pickup or SUV.
