I usually just train in my regular running shoes. As long as you keep thinking about a good solid foot plant right under your body, you should be fine stability wise. I don't have any problems with the snow getting my feet wet either (Running on Saucony Hurricane 7)

I normally run with Asics GT-2080 or the 2090.
I use the Asic Gel Eagle Trail shoe for trail running and in the winter.
If you are using a Saucony maybe find a trail shoe they make.
You can also get neophrene socks to keep your feet warm.

I generally run in my regular trainers all winter. I'm in coastal Connecticut so our winters aren't too dissimilar. If you think you'd be more comfortable with a trail shoe for additional traction, by all means go ahead and get a pair.

If it is just cold it isn't to bad but if it is wet or slushy or snowy, I find the mesh in my regular shoes lets it all leak in and my feet get real wet and very cold.
I find the trail shoes keep out much of the wet stuff.
My .02 :D
First snow of the season hit here in D.C. yesterday, leading me to think that I need a pair of more water-resistant running shoes for winter (I try to run to work at least a few days per week, and couldn't today due to the snowy wet slop on the sidewalks).
Do I want a trail shoe? There are tons reviewed in the gear guide, but nothing seems to speak either to water-resistance or to things like pronation control/arch height/etc... (For what it's worth, my regular shoe is the Saucony Grid Stabil)
Thoughts or recommendations? Thanks!
