So, I live in New York, about 20 miles north of New York City. The last several years my daily driver has been a 2000 Z28 with drag radials. The thing was sketchy in the rain and snow, but I drove it year round! Aside from days with deep snow or crazy low temperatures with ice everywhere, (in which case my job was closed anyways) it was fine.
The two largest factors that contribute to being able to drive in the winter are your personal ability to do so, and snow tires. Growing up in Northern NY and having to drive a Jeep Wrangler with non functional 4wd taught me pretty fast how to drive in the snow with RWD. And after getting some cheapo rims with snow tires and experiencing the difference I will never go back.
But really, its largely skill. Hell, a few years ago a buddy of mine was in college down in Georgia, when they had that freak snow storm. He said he saw families abandoning their 4wd trucks and walking back into town over an inch of snow, while he blew past them in his lowered 1986 Porsche 944.
You'll be fine!
