I currently only drive about a mile to work on residential streets so I would maybe be able to DD in the winter without much issue, but the car being so low to the ground makes me think I might run into some issues with plowing and traction. Not to mention I might be moving to a neighboring city in the future to live with the gf so that could also be a problem. I have an 06 Eclipse that I DD currently so I'll maybe have to keep that around.
When comparing the BRZ/FRS to the Eclipse, the Eclipse doesn't have that much ground clearance either. So take your pick when you spin out, either understeer into the curb (FWD) or oversteer into the curb (RWD).

Lot's of people claim that RWD in the winter is a blast. I'm sure it is, especially for going sideways. I prefer to have more control though. If it was me, I'd sell the Eclipse and pick up an older Subaru for a winter DD.
