Brett, you'll be fine as long as you remember that driving in falling snow is much like driving in those nasty afternoon downpours that hit Florida every summer. Your visibility drops to nil, your tires are susceptible to skating this way and that, and you'll need to watch out for the nutjobs who think that 4-wheel drive equals invincibility.
You don't need snow tires, as all-season radials with a nice open tread pattern should work fine in all but the heaviest snow. Here in Boston, we got hit with 2 feet the other day and my 97 SET can plow through 4-5 inches with no problem. It's not likely you'll see that on your trip.
If you find yourself in a snowstorm and feel odd on the road, find the biggest open space you can (parking lots are great) and practice controlling a skid. Pick up speed and make a quick motion, then get a feel for correcting the skid. It's also a LOT of fun....
