You can still drive it in the snow but you'll be much slower then most other cars but who cars about how fast you get where you are going in a snow storm.
I don't buy into that. I've driven both FWD and RWD and I prefer RWD in the snow, no question. With the right tire you can go anywhere. The Z's weakness in the snow is firm suspension, you need the weight transfer to assist in traction. As already stated find the skinniest wheels and tires that are practical.
