Question 97 E300 in Northern Climates

I am thinking about selling my 210 to my son who lives in Indiannapolis.

Since I live in Florida, I have never encountered cold weather starts and traction issues. To those who live in NH and Minnesota latitudes, what is your experience with 0 degree F starts and traction? My car is maintained to the extreme so starting after an overnight cold soak is the only concern. The car would be parked outside all the time.

Someone posted about snow driving so I got that, but what about day to day ice patches?

I used to live in upstate NY so I know about melt and refreeze. I only remember that MB's were notorious for bad traction in the winter, but my info might be dated.

Thanks
