I have an older Fleetwood MH and am in the same area as you are.
You should be fine with the following caveats;
Heavy Lake effect such as occurs north of Syracuse (your from the area you know what I mean by heavy) = stay home because of white out conditions and someone will run into your rear end
Use a good weather service to plan your trips either Weatherunderground or accuweather as what we have in the Syracuse area is not necessarily what we have around us.
Plan to travel through snow areas non rush hour times as less people in a hurry non rush hour. If you have ever been near the Adams street exits in Syracuse this is what I try to avoid everywhere I go and since I am usually unfamiliar with the area I avoid rush hours
Stay on main roads for a while after a snow storm remember the big arterials are done first then local roads.
Your home will handle fine it is the other people who we worry about
