Its snowing

First winter with the TT (180 Q). Since I live in GA, snow is unusual at best. How bad are the stock tires on snow... even if it is very thin on the roads???

the stock tires are terrible on even thin layers of snow...they're not even very good in cold and...

dry weather (they get too hard)...there are several good snow tires for the tt (excelent traction while still allowing you to drive the tt as it should be driven) -- go to tirerack for examples.

enjoy the snow!

I'd go beyond that to say they're dangerous, and you WILL damage your car...

The stock tires have no lateral traction whatsoever in snow or temps below about 40 degrees.

Do yourself a favor and get all-weathers or dedicated snows - they're much less than your insurance deductible would be...
