^ That's even more risky than driving yourself! 
No.
Snow is so rare here that it's not worth the expense. If I did have winter tyres, I'd be happy driving in this weather, I think the car could fairly easily handle the few inches we have here. I have Continental SportContact2s or 3s on at the moment, which aren't ideal for snow really...

^ Gotcha. Yeah, then it's definitely a good idea to keep the car safe.
And yeah, your S4 could handle a couple of inches of snow easily. Hell, I use my VW Eos as a daily-driver all winter long even when we get a ton of snow (like we did this week) and it doesn't have the benefit of AWD like your S4.
Speaking of AWD... I gotta say our new Q5 totally rocks in the snow. Ground clearance + Quattro = total awesomeness.

I can imagine. You'll be clearing snowbanks with that thing!
I feel left out, there's sod all here, it didn't even snow for long. 
I went outside fer a fag, snowman gave me evils so I punched him.
Go on, Jim. Kick his pansy snowman arse.

Got to town and back perfectly fine. Once I got a few miles out of my village there was barely any snow at all anywhere.
While on the bus I was flicking through the Metro newspapers, and one of the stories was "Weather misery to continue", about how more snow was forecast.
Why does it have to be "misery", I love a bit of snow! It's great. I fucking hate that lazy style of journalism where every thing on Earth is bad and out to get you and screw you over

I am praying for a lack of snow or ice tomorrow. I need to be in London for the weekend.
No, its not that. Its just how a nation can grind to a halt by what we'd consider a light dusting where I'm from. It speaks volumes to how specialized and adapted we are from region to region.
At one time we were a salt mining nation. We've still got lots of the stuff too, but we don't mine it much anymore. It's ridiculous really. It's like sitting on top of a load of abandoned coal mines and complaining that we've got no fossil fuels... oh wait.
