I had mine as a DD in Wisconsin over one winter. It's very drivable on winter tires. I'd suggest some sort of LSD though. I had a few cases where one wheel was slipping and applying more gas allowed my other wheel that had grip to move forward thanks to the VLSD. Even more drivable if you're at stock height.
I'll be driving a dedicated winter car from now on though, although I'll still have winter tires on the Z when I feel like having fun. Reason being that while I felt safe about my own car, I was always worried about getting hit and additional corrosion due to the heavy amounts of salt on the roads. I felt compelled to do very frequent washes and to me, having a beater that I can take out on the worst of days is worth the price of depreciation and registration costs on a $5000 car.
