How much snow are we talkin'? 12" or less and you should be okay as long as you don't drive like an idiot. anything else and you may want to upgrade your tires. Either way, take some salt or sand, some 2x4's, a cell phone and a tow strap (and a buddy with a 4x4 if you have one) just to be safe.

I have an 04 f150 with 2wd 3.55LS...You can't ask for much more then that! It handles snow like a champ!! Just before x-mas, we got about 18 inches of snow! I took it on a near by feild just to see what it can do! Holy crap! It cuts through the snow without any problem!! I have mine stock, and theres no need for me to upgrade anything. I wouldn't worry about it, if I went through 18 inches without any problems, you shouldn't have to worry urself! :-)
