How unsafe to drive in light slush w/ summers in cold temps?

So I was planning on taking my G to the shop 2morrow to get the nismo g-attack suspension put on, but the forecast is snow (approx. 1 inch) possible for it to be just slush--but definetly wheather is around the freezing point.

I just switched to my summer wheels and tires though. Do you guys think it would be safe to drive in my summers in those conditions, or should I not take the chance and wait another day or so?

I'm not going if there is there is snow on the ground 2morrow morn, but what do you guys think about just slush?

Check it out and see how it looks in the morning. I'd play it safe and wait.

I definitely would not chance it with snow or slush on the ground. It is not worth the risk with summer rubber on.

I would do it, but don't dare gassing over 3k rpm and keep it 5-10 below speed limit.

Wakin up at 8. If there's snow on the ground I won't go and postpone a day, otherwise I think I'm gonna try to roll--but slow nonetheless, especially w/ the suspension in the trunk.
