How does the 370z perfom in the winter weather?

Got about 30cm in the last 2 days in Montreal. Took the Z out for my first snow driving experience with it and I got to say I'm impressed on how well it handles itself on snow packed roads.

I didn't drive mine yesterday after the snowstorm and good thing. The road surfaces were plowed so no issue there but on the on ramps and off ramps the plows left huge walls of snow that vehicles had to bust through to get on or off the highway. I was following another vehicle doing 80 km an hour on the on ramp in my awd Escape and the car in front of me hit the snow wall and proceeded to crash off in a huge ditch. I made it through no problem since I had lots of clearance and awd, If I was in the 370 I think I would have both destroyed the front bumper and ended up in the same ditch as the other guy.
