When I had a 94, I had good all weather tires, and put a bag or two of sand in the back for weight. It got through a few inches of snow well enough to get home from work, but I wouldn't want to take a road trip in the snow.

I drive my 96 all winter long. Some good winter tires for the rear and your good to go. Also slow down and take your time.

Sand bags are your best bet lol. Tires will also make a big difference. I have a spare set of 215-60-16 for the rain.
