he's probably exaggerating/ scared to drive his car in the snow to be honest since many of us have done it/ do it all winter long

How am I scared if you can clearly tell my tires have been spinning in place? I made every effort to get out without resorting to a shovel or salt (Because I don't believe I should have to with these tires). On a side note, It's been 62 degrees in Maryland for a couple days now and my driveway melted. Was able to pull out this morning and drive to work in the FR-S for the first time in a month which feels amazing. Putting my Michelin Super Sports on this weekend.

Not trying to imply that you don't know what you are doing so please bare with me on this!
Did you turn your traction control off when you started spinning?
I have had a pile of guys ask how I drive with no issues in deep snow and they keep getting stuck and almost every one of them was trying to drive with the traction control on. That is a sure recipe for not getting moving in snow or on ice. I do of course turn it back on once I am free of the deep stuff.

I am a huge believer in turning traction control off when stuck in snow. I've gotten stuck on a hill twice and both times had to turn TC off to get going (That was on stock tires too >.>). But yea I turned TC off trying to get out.

First thing I do when I start the car (year round) is turn TC off......

I had no issue as long as I had snow tires on:
