Actually you might want to search for the word "winter". I know there are several topics that go into great detail about this. Your best bet is to get winter tires. Several studies have proven that putting sand bags in the trunk (and not directly above the axle) can actually cause you to lose control if your car should start to spin.

I live in illinois and we got about 5 inches, the stang isnt too bad in the snow but i wouldnt think that bags in the trunk would matter. But hey do whatever you want
