Definitely don't add weight in the trunk. That will make braking more difficult and upset the handling of the car.

As long as the snow isn't higher than the lowest part of your front bumper you should be alright.

Tires play a huge roll in how you will do in the snow. Some people think that the tread of the tires grab into the snow and that gives you traction.

The truth is that the snow on snow is what gives you the traction. The snow that gets packed into the tread grips the snow on the ground.
