I am not worried about cracking tires as i drive the car everyday. Now if it were sub zero temps might be a different story. But 20s so far so good.
I also got caught in that snow dusting few weeks back in December. Took about 1.5h to drive 40 miles but made it home fine. Would fishtail at every stop light and every shift. Once i got to the highway it was fine as it had no snow cover.
I wouldn't recommend driving 1-2 inches or more as you may/probably get stuck.
Where i live the roads are clear the next day or two, so i do not have to worry about driving with accumulation on the road.

Sir, I salute you for managing to drive our car like this and on the stock tires!
My other location (where my car is right now, but I am not...) is Englishtown and the car is not driving for the past 2 weeks or so.
I have a friend take care of it while I am away. I told him not to drive during the next 5-7 days or so, until it warms up a bit.
It is also encouraging to know from your first-hand experience these days, that the tires can take these Temps when driving carefully.
