My sister (21 years old drives Accord) offered to switch cars for the day. She drives 1.5 miles to work, I drive 19 miles each way.
No offense to her but I'll take my chances on the snow and ice.

If so much as a 1/2 inch or snow falls I can't even get up a small hill in my neighborhood from a stop with all season tires.... let alone summer tires. Espeacially being a new driver to the S2000. Rear wheel drive on a light car in snow SUCKS. I get the adrenline pumping when going less than 10 in snow. I like I am barely in control in the S in bad conditions.
Do not risk it you will, or you will regret it.
If you do decide to drive, then I will answer your next question in advance.....Greg's Car Care has done great work for many of us. Located on Highway 94....

In short. I recomend not driving in the snow...ESPEACIALLY if you are a new driver to the S2000. I almost put mine into a wall 2 days after I got my first '02 S. Fish tailed in in perfect weather because I wasn't used to rear wheel drive. Rear wheel drive in a light car in snow/ice is bad news...no matter what your skill level is.

The S is NOT a car for snow. If you have alternate transportation, I would recommend driving it instead.
The weight in the trunk will help a little bit, but will not make the car safe.
Be careful out there or risk this:
