Default Driving in Winter (SNOW)?

Hi guys, I use to drive s2000 back in CA and later this year I will be coming to NJ. (Will be working in Pennington, NJ and thinking of living in New Brunswick area)
I will be out of college in December so I'm not going to have 2 cars, meaning will have s2000 as daily.
Only thing I'm worried about is snow as I know how bad it gets here since I have been spending my last 2 years in PA.

My plan for now iss having another set of rims with winter/snow tires.
But other problem is I am very sure that I will get coilovers and worried about sweeping all the snow with my car.
How did you guys manage that if you guys drive s2000 in the winter? I heard they take pretty good care of cleaning the road but still...
Let me know guys!
Thanks

Daily driving an S for years. I agree with Rosario717 and let me add: Use common sense. It's snowing.

i drive mine on blizzaks and its fine. a good snow tire will go a long way. you will be passing suvs on all season tires with ease. if you think you need to, put some weight in your trunk for a little more grip.

Seems like if you're looking to live in NB you'll be taking route 1 south to i95 to get to Pennington. I drive on the same roads and they use a lot of salt. I have two rwd cars and I get around fine but I'd be more worried about the salt than snow.

After every winter season I have my chassis pressure washed on a lift
