Welcome Jocie. You'll love it. Here in MN drove it all winter on the original Conti's no problem except for !snow day of 8-10" of heavy wet snows, and even then as long as I kept moving it was fine, I only worried about the other folks hitting me. I had a 50# bag of salt in the back over the axle, and that really helps. My next tires will most likely be the Conti A/S DWS's. Leave the traction control on, and put the switch into W, the one on the console, and you'll be just fine. Enjoy your new ride! BTW, nightrider is in CT too, and he drives his roadster all winter too.
