If a car ever had fitness for purpose in this weather it's the Saab 99.
There is plenty of traction with all the weight over the front (driven) wheels and the skinny (165-15) tyres grip well. There is also an excellent heater/ventilation system to keep it warm and the windows clear and excellent visibility.
Provided you've got a good battery and plenty of anti-freeze they love it!
I'd chose a 99 over a 900 in the snow any day. This one is still for sale (please see my May 2011 post http://saabdoctor.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/saab-99-1983-for-sale.html )
wow beautiful 900
