MINI in the snow

Sorry if this has been answered 1,000's of times. I tried to search the threads but couldn't find an answer. I have a two week old Pepper White Cabrio Sidewalk edition ... small engine/ 5 speed and I'm wondering what to expect in the snow and ice of Northeast Ohio winters?

Best advice......get a winter set of wheels with dedicated snow tires and try not to drive in deep snow (4-5 inches of new)

Thanks everybody ... I do have the run-flats, so it sounds like the snow tires is the way to go.
