CLK 55 on snow

I am thinking of moving to a snowy climate. A very snowy climate. How does this car handle on snow and ice? The last MB I had on snow was a 98 E300 and it was very stable. I'm hope the CLK is the same way.

I live in boston and it snows a lot here as most of you know.
It is quite difficult to drive this car on snow even with the stock 17 inch wheels. Lots of wheel spins on snow especially. Worse than W203 320.
I love to have it for summer tho.^^;;

driving in snow is all about tires and your skill
no matter what car you drive
it can be a 4X4 and go right in the ditch if you don't know how to drive in snow ;p

true but if you were to drive this car while snowing like crazy. As we all know this car has plenty of torque compared to other brands, which usually causes tail-happy actions on snow and ice. Also it's not a quatrro either.
