Don't park it

Billy, Billy, Billy....

You gotta get some snow tires. I recommend Nokian Hakkapelita (and I'm not even going to try and spell that right)

I have 4 Nokian Hakka 2 with studs (yes, you must get 4 or don't even bother- your handling will be even less predictable). These tyres (as the Europeans spell) are AMAZING on my E300. I have been through all sorts of outrageous junk last winter: snow, sleet, mixed precip., freezing rain, snow drifts up to 6+ inches.

You need 2 shoes on your feet and you wear boots in the winter
Put 4 Hakkas on the Benz and enjoy the Northeast weather.
You're gonna need 4 tires of some sort -- you might as well have the right ones for the season on your car.

PS
Make sure to laugh at the yuppies in their SUV's, 4x4 pickups and AWD subarus when you pass them in the ditch. 4x4 is nice, but the tires are where the rubber meets the snow on the road... oh yeah, and be safe- slow down a little
