I think with good winter tires and common sense, yes, you certainly "could" do it. I see many Mustangs on the roads during winter, and we have snow on the ground for 4-5 months a year. Depends where you are, but most of Michigan would have less snow than where I live.

I'm blown away how well my own RWD performs in the snow with good winter tires, to be honest, it's far exceeded all of my expectations. No trips/commutes cancelled yet, no matter what the weather.

That said, having driven my friend's 2014 GT with performance pack, or whatever it's called, I wouldn't personally do it (he doesn't either). That V8 packs lots of raw power and traction/stability controls, just don't seem to be as refined/quick as they are in BMW cars, it's easy to make the rear end move even on dry roads with all electronic nannies on. As others have said, something like old/used Subaru Forester would be my winter car if I was in your shoes
