This is a great thread so far.
In my experience (Minnesota) I drove all through last winter with the stock all-seasons (Bridgestone Turanzas?) and the car did amazingly well. She's super balanced so taking a corner at sensible speeds doesn't shift weight back or forth so no surprises mid-corner unless you decide you want some of that with some throttle input. The only particular issues I had driving in the winter were starting and stopping on inclines. It being RWD and having all-seasons on there really doesn't do this car any favors going uphill. The car just wants to go sideways and into a ditch. Just like what tcoat said, get yourself some good winter tires and you'll do fine. I also don't recommend driving in more than 5" of snow. I did this once going to work and I basically plowed the way for everyone else behind me with my front bumper. (And I'm at stock height.) Good luck!
