86 is very good in heavy winter. No need to worry. Just drive with caution as you would any car.

You won't go wrong with Blizzaks but should be aware that most recent reviews seem to think Nokian and Michelin share the crown for best winter tire these days.

All of @humfrz suggestion is good .

Relating specifically to winter the MY2013 window hardware is known to occasionally bug out and refuse to roll up in severe cold. The hardware has completely frozen up for some people because water gets in there -- there's a TSB for it but your car will likely be out of bumper-to-bumper.
