First awd car in the snow!

Hey I was wondering what's the consensus on a 1 inch drop in a snowy state? I really want to lower it but I dont want to be screwed in the winter. The last 3 years I had a mustang gt with winter tires and I managed just fine 😅. I'm thinking this will be a cake walk but I have never owned a lowered car so I don't know if it's a bad idea or not.

I’ve owned multiple lowered cars in snow states. You’ll be fine with a 1 inch drop. Snow/snow rated tires and a responsible driver is all you need unless it takes a long time for the plow trucks to reach you. Or else with enough snowfall you’ll be plowing with your bumper. To which I say we shouldn’t be out driving anyway.
