Is it good for your Smart to drive it in cold weather, with snow?

They sell smarts in Sweden, Norway and Finland - just slightly farther North than your location.

That picture was in the Smart Book the dealer gave me, I suppose it's ok to drive it in snowy weather. Just me thinking out loud.

I drove my s14 in the snow with "all season radials" and i had an open dif. Thats as bad as it can ever get!!
The question should be .... does the smart need snow tires? Or does the smart have over steer in the snow?
I work 25 miles from home and part of my job is to clear the snow off sidewalks before everyone shows up.
