Daily Drivers... what winter setup do you have?

I live in Vermont, so it's pretty bad when winter rolls around. I'm wondering what kind of suspension setup you guys are using for the winter and/or if you have a winter beater. I'm thinking about adjustable coilovers so I can raise my car in the winter, but I'm not sure yet. Any suggestions are welcome

I'm trading my Crower cams and valvetrain for a 1977 Civic CVCC. I'm looking forward to having a backup car.
