What he said...I live on a peninsula that juts out into one of those lakes. I've seen it snow here at the rate of 1 foot per hour (sometimes more), while people just 10-15 minutes north only get a few inches total. Wind plays a big part too. 1 foot of snow can easily make for 3-4 foot snow drifts in very little time. I have been pleasantly surprised a few times by just how good this car is in the snow with the right tires.

On the summer tires inches of snow might as well be feet!

I am lowered 1 1/2 " and high centred a few times. The combination of light weight, mostly enclosed undercarriage and good snows allowed me to just sort of toboggan through it. Thought I was screwed at first though.

Complains about getting stuck in the snow in a RWD car. Has summer tires.
I'm logging off from the internet from the day. Goodnight everyone.

I got stuck for a bit today, took Trac control completely off. Backed up and moved up a few feet 2 or 3 times then just throttled forward and drifted out of my situation. Luckily I was in a stop sign behind a mall strip and barely anyone passed by.
TL; DR mashed on the far right pedal a lot
