To put on stock shocks/ springs during winter?

I've got a g35x sedan with bc coilovers. Winter just started here in NYC and we got a small coating of snow last night.
Should I put on my stock shocks and springs during winter?
It doesn't snow much here but we do get hit with winter storms. Dont want to be plowing thru snow. And bottom out since I can't see the bumps on the roads. I do at least 200+ miles a week. What do u guys think?

Why would you???? The hassle of all that work... another alignment... just to do it all over again in 4-5 months???? Not a chance.

Only time I have ever put stock springs back on is when I trade. And at that point I don't hassle with an alignment.

How high can u guys raise ur coils compared to stock? I've had my mechanic raise it to the highest setting, and yes my mechanic knows what he's doing. I'm still like 2" lower than stock.
