driving in snow? Options

[bdog_v]

hi guys today was the first day I 've driven my 94 celica gt in snow. (I've driven many other vehicles in snow before this) I was only in about 3" of snow and could barely get out of the driveway. Granted it is an icy snowfall very slick, and my tires are less than half tread, but for a front wheel drive car i was fairly upset.....It does get much better traction in reverse than forward just as a side note. so I am wondering how does your front wheel drive celica do in say 3" of snow or more, not on plowed roads but fresh snow????

Thanks

My celica is lowered 1.8-2" all the way around and with half tread snow tires last winter I made it through 9" of poweder over a 1/4 mile up hill(not a huge hill but a hill)... granted I had snow up to my headers and battery when I stopped but the celica is great in the snow.

This year I'm running on General Altimax Arctic's and I do 65mph on the highway when there is nothing but white snow underneath me and I credit the TIRES to what our cars can and cannot do. All-seasons are not meant for temperatures below freezing which is why they suck in the winter and cannot grab ice... no matter if you are a great driver or not, your life may rely on your tires to stop or steer you from harm that's most likely uncontrollable so I will never run all-seasons in winter.
