Aaay Mud, welcome aboard n' best of luck with your new ride.
Winter drivin': No different than any other rear-wheel drive, relatively gutsy vehicle in the snow: It requires your attention at all times.
Sandbags: Not unless you're mountin' off-road tires n' gainin' ground clearance. Sandbags weight at the extremes of the trunk would only give you more of a tendency to pendulum should you start any kind of a fishtail. Lotsa fun if there's room to spin-til-ya-puke, but ungood when somethin' gets in the way of your doughnuts. N' somethin' usually does.
All things considered, there are no real surprises with Stewie in the winter.
Lack of ground clearance and not changin' to winter-specific tires will be your major limiting factors.
Ground clearance you can't really do much about, but TireRack recommended Dunlop WinterSport M3s when I asked. They served me very well through last winter and are back on the car awaitin' this years festivities.
Personally, I'll go out in an inch to an inch n' a half as long as there's no chance of it continuin' n' gettin' any worse. After that I leave it parked n' take the beast.
But if you take it out in the snow (or the rain) make no mistake about it: it demands your full attention n' can punish severely if you short-change it in this area . . . same as any other rear-wheel drive, relatively gutsy vehicle in the snow.
Be well.
