driving in winter
Let some air out of your tires, you will get much better traction.
Put a couple of concrete blocks or sand bags in the trunk.
These are just temporary adjustments for bad weather, but they are effective

Snow tires.
If you're not willing to spend the small amount it costs for snow tires, then you're not too concerned with safely driving in the snow.
Not trying to be rude, it's a purchase that I put off for a long time... now that I have driven on snow tires, there is no way I'll ever not have a set for any car I own.
I never get stuck on any hill.I even stop half way up snowy hills just to start again.

Besides if you don't take them off after it snows they are loud and annoying to drive on pavement. <---Thats for us lazy people So I say just go slow and be extra careful.

My snows aren't studded - they ride fine and quiet on dry pavement. I'm always shocked with the ride harshness when I go back to my sumer tires. Not that I mind, It's great to be able to turn and stop again.
The snows I bought for my gf's car a couple of months ago they were ~$50/each from town fair tire. Not bad, considering good summer tires are twice that.
