It handles well in snow but only with snow tires on it.
But don't expect any savings buy driving a Prius tough.
Most people buying a hybrid are assuming they will be the least expensive vehicle to operate but that is totally untrue. Yes they are very good on fuel mileage BUT you have to consider ALL costs, not fuel alone. When including all costs over a three year period no hybrid including the Prius even makes the top ten list of most economical cars as can be seen here:

The Chevy will be the most reliable on that list followed by the Smart car.
So if your plan is to save money on operating costs then choose one of the top ten most economical cars form the list and avoid all hybrids sense not even one of them made the top ten list.
How does your Toyota Prius handle in winter cold and snow?
