They're even more dangerous than usual, be VERY VIGILANT.

My little car is in shambles (I need a large SUV with AWD to drive if there is snow on the ground, or too strong of a breeze)

    I used to drive a Miata in snow up to maybe 4 inches before clearance became an issue. These trucks with all-terrain tires are dangerous because AWD gets them off the line quick, but when it comes to braking they are as limited as anyone else not running winters.

      Me too. Miatas are pretty capable in the snow as long as you have good tires. The limited slip differential on some trim levels helps a lot too. The cold is another matter though. My heater would barely keep up, and the plastic rear window cracked when it was 20F.
