As others have said, good snow tires are important. IMO, it's best to just buy studded tires if you're allowed to in your area. Studded tires are a godsend on ice or hard-packed snow and they eliminate most of the need for chains too.
With good tires, the 944 series is actually pretty decent in the snow. Have to take things slow and not get cocky, but overall it's better than many RWD cars because at least it's 50/50 balance (many RWD cars are still nose-heavy).
That said, with the summer-only tires that I have on my 951, it definitely won't be seeing snow. Frankly, I doubt I could even get it up the hill in my driveway with the summer tires if there was snow. Good, dedicated winter-only tires make a gigantic difference and that's the direction you really ought to go.
