Default Winter driving & C70

I normally drive a 4x4 Ford F150 but am considering selling it and driving my 2009 C70 in the winter after installing snow tires. I am sure this has been asked but I am interested in owners experiences with driving the C70 in the winter and on unplowed streets. I live in northeast Ohio in what is known as the snow belt so we can get heavy snow at times. Thank you.

Hi, I live in NH and had a tough snowy winter (8 feet total). It was my first year driving C70 in the snow. I was stuck more this season than in the 30+ years of driving. Although I didn't put snow tires on, I do have brand new tires on it. C70 sits lower, so if you have 8 inches on the ground, you're bound to get stuck. Good luck.
