Default Super Downs in winter...

I was wondering if anyone has superdowns in through a snowy winter. I am debating on either to get the superdowns or downs but the only thing keeping me back from getting the superdowns is snowy winters. I live in NY and I'm just worried I'll be too low for the winter. Any input?

I got Downs and AWD on all-seasons, in Toronto. No worries. Super downs is another half inch lower. With AWD or RWD with a good set of winters it should not be a problem. If you are still concerned, get slightly taller winter rubber for the clearance.
