actually, i've been driving in the snow since i was 16, never had an accident because of the snow. the key is to go out and learn to drive in the snow, not wait until you have a year or two of experience not driving in the snow. 20-30 minutes driving like an idiot in an empty unplowed parking lot to see how your car reacts in snow and ice is better than a lifetime of driving on dry pavement and then thinking you have driven enough to try driving in snow. And testing cars handling and ability plus short comings in the snow is important in EVERY car you own, even something as simple as a new set of tire can drastically change what the car is like so you should make a point of it almost every year until you have experience to judge how the car should act, or at least be able to redetermine a technique when your on the street.
