I drove my cobra in a little snow once (same reason, went to work thinking it wouldn't). Wasn't too hairy. Just be ginger with that trigger they call a gas pedal.

BTW, I grew up back in Montreal and so spent a considerable amount of time driving in the snow. I'll take a compact car with front wheel drive anytime over some massive 4x4. Can't tell you how many times I'd see them slide down the icy overpass into the wall in the side and I'd just zip around them. If the snow is anything under 4", then it's more about traction when turning and total weight than it is about pulling traction. FWD gives you a lot more control, especially when 'accesorized' with the handbrake.
