How does the Boxster handle in snow

Since I live in Florida, I've never taken my Boxster into the snow or ice. Back in the 1970s. I had a mid-engine X-19 that was okay in winter conditions. I'm wondering how our rides do.

Not well. Just letting the clutch out on the S breaks the tires free. Mine was lowered 10mm because it's a special edition and that does not help with ice chunks. Because the tires are practically bald with groove patterns in them ( brand new Sumotos) no traction. Plus, all CV boots should be free of cracks or splits. Not a snow car.

Thanks. I could see where it would act like a mini-snow plow
