Heres my tips. I destroyed my summer tires the night before, and i made it to work easy on bald summer tires. The key is, if your wheels are spinning, you are making it worse. You melt the snow and create a layer of water between your tires and the ice. What you want to do is take off as lightly as possible, if your wheels start to spin let off till they stop spinning then slowly re-apply the throttle, oncce your moving you can get on the throttle more aggresively. I find if your stuck on a hill try turning the wheels from side to side may help you get both spinning. ALso if your on a hill try using the ebrake to hold the car from rolling back that way your car doesnt have to overcome the rear movement.
Other then that just use common sense. I drove all last winter on summer tires, this winter i have dedicated snows, and to be honest wtih you there good but still some of the roads here are tricky.
In my area id say we are knocking 10" or more of snow, combine that with my smaller then stock snow tires and my eibach drop, my front end plows.
On a good note i attracted a crowd of 10 people as i was drifting in the save on parking lot around a light pole lol, i only need the ebrake to intially get the back end out then ijust kept going around in circles. then some older guy in a sebring started doing reverse donuts after him and his wife were watching me
