Sounds wonderful!
And I'd have to agree with you about driving the Cherokee. Somehow, I just don't think the Mustang would handle snow all that well.
The mustang is helpless in the snow. No workeee no way. The one and only time I took it out in the snow it got stuck on a speedbump. No weight in the back, zero traction, no way to make it work. You just cannot apply power slow enough for it to ever get any momentum before it spins out. Can't chain it up, either. It is a fair-weather unit, and that's that.
But the Cherokee has studded snow tires on it, is 4wd, and has just the right balance front/rear. It's wonderful in the snow.
