With four snows and the help of both traction control and winter mode, you shouldn't have a problem. I would be more concerned about parking the car over night and having the oil in the engine shift to one end of the block, causing pre-mature wear on start up. Depending on where the oil pump is located, the question then becomes; do you park nose down, or nose up? This is assuming the driveway is at a steep angle.
