I don't have special running shoes for the snow, altho they do make them. I have a hard enough time finding the right shoe for my feet, so I never invested in winter shoes.
It's very rare that I actually run "in the snow". Usually, the streets are cleared enough to run in. The sidewalks usually stay quite icey, so I'm forced to do loops on low traffic streets where I can safely run in the road.
I'll run in most kinds of weather, but not ice. I've fallen, and it's just not safe. They have things you can put on your shoes for traction, and even some sort of "gritty" stuff to stick on, but I've never tried them.
If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper when you get home. It helps them dry quicker. Invest in moisture wicking clothes to keep you drier. If you get wet, even with sweat, you'll freeze. Running stores have expensive stuff, but stores like Target, Marshalls and Walmart all have clothes, too. Look for labels like Coolmax, DriFit, or anything wicking.
