let me guess....you live is sauga and go to Western....come home on the weekends to bum food off your parents and get the laundry done...lol. 
winter tires: if you still have your stock wheels...slap them on for the winter with some Michelin all seasons and you'll be fine.

Same situation here, lowered 2" and have to drive it in the winter for the first time. At least I have a garage and my '97 stock rims and tires have 3k on them. Never should have sold my winter beater but oh well.

LOL... I just lowered my beater. I have a 91 civic I drive to
work, and in the winter months. I just lowered it 1.8" I've
never driven it in the snow. But I can't imagine it's that bad.
I'm gonna find out real soon... were supposed to get 10cm
tonight.
Kinda funny my beater is lower than my teg...
LOL,. integra boy.. you hit it right on the money.. lol..

I wasn't lowered at all last winter and I got stuck a couple times just in and around Toronto. You know how we get 2 or 3 heavy snow falls a winter; for those few days you'll have real trouble driving. Maybe you should sell whatever springs you have right now and get coilovers. Problem solved.

dude, if u cant drive in the snow, just do what i did two years ago.
We got a sudden overnight snowfall of like a foot and a few inches one night here a few decembers ago.
I had my buddy whose 6'2", 220 lbs or so, lay on my hood to give the front wheels weight, and I put on my snowboard goggles and drove sticking my head out the window cuz my friend was blocking my vision.
We were able to drive down a few major roads just fine....until we drove past a Snohomish County Sherriff who proceeded to pull us over, give us all a verbal toungue lashing, and scare the living shit out of us cuz he was psycho lookin...

How are you planning to raise the car? Investing in some adjustables might be worthwhile.

Depends.
Ground Control are pretty easy. One perch, one hex wrench, and a lot of WD-40 (or similar agent)
h: Only problem is you have to take out the rear wheels to adjust the rears (I adjust mine by sticking my arm through the large gaps in my wheelz )
The cheaper coilover "sleeves" have 2 perches, slightly more difficult.

ps. The car needs to be jacked up to do this
