Definitely invest in some snow tires if you can, or at least get some all seasons if you can't do that. I drove through a winter on summer tires (very conservatively) because I couldn't do otherwise. I never intentionally drove in the snow, but one day I was caught by a surprise snow drift coming over a little blind hill. Got a "sink or swim" lesson in drifting while a woman was blistering toward me in a Trail Blazer, yacking away on her cell. I put Michelin Pilot A/S 3s on a few weeks ago because I DD the car, so I needed something that, while not a snow tire, will be better in low temps, and hopefully won't send me into a light pole if there's a dusting on the road. I take my wife's Altima if there's any chance of snow/ice.

Like others said, snow tires should provide decent traction, but I'd still be worried about ground clearance if there's more than 2-3 inches on the ground.
