SC400 - how bad in snow?

Still get the occasional blizzard up here. How controllable is the SC400 in the white stuff? Would it be out of the question for a year round daily driver? I would love to own one of these cars but have come across a few posts mentioning how bad they are in the snow.

naw, with a good set fo snow tires and the TCS on, they are about as good as any other car. not as good as 4wd/awd, but better than most RWD's around. they arent light cars, this helps.

i reccomend nokian hakkapalita winter tires.

Thanks guys, that's really good to know. As for the insurance, I'm a geezer so it shouldn't be too bad I hope.
