Default g35 rwd sedan vs. snow

I'm sure the snow driving topic has been beat to death. The majority of the 'search' threads talked about the Z and the g35 coupe in the snow. I currently own a 03' Z. Due to a new family member arriving in July, I am forced to look for a sedan. From past experiences, I know the Z cannot drive in the snow. It sounds like the Z and g35 coupe handle the snow about the same - no go. How does the g35 sedan rwd and awd perform in the snow?

I'm currently driving my 03' G35 Sedan up here in Ottawa Canada.....
No problems as long as

1)Good winter tires all around
2)Conservative driving style

Other than that she's a blast to tromp around with in an empty parking lot!lol

jt...most of my friends with the sedan say the snow driving is fine as long as you have a dedicated set of snows.
I have the AWD G35X and it is an awesome snow machine especially when mated with a set of snows. I just love playing in the snow with the X.
It's even fun in the summer doing a bit of off-roading .

Just drift the hell out of the snow !!
but seriously, get some good winter tires, and adapt to the weather with your driving style. Then, you should be fine with the well balanced G / Z
