biggest advice i can contribute is keep the tires THIN! i was running 185/60/14s on Scrappy and he would just sit on top of the snow. moved to 155-13s and he dug right in. you need to concentrate your available weight onto a smaller area (footprint).

I was thinking of filling a pipe with lead and making a front strut brace for the winter!!
Might have to try that after reading iceracerdude's post....

Slick is awesome in the snow. When we had our 22 inch snow last Dec. I was the only one not in a 4 by 4 to not miss any work due to snow. Course, then they chickened out, and shut us down, so I got to drive home in even more snow. After doing some donuts in an empty walmart parking lot.

By the time I got home, I was plowing though 8 or 10 inches of fresh powder. No problems. Haven't driven Annie in the snow yet, but I'm sure she'll do fine. I run cheap little 12 inch M/S rated tires. Festiva FTW!!!!!

Just don't put too much in the back. I had to move the weight forward of the rear axle, I had 40lb of iron to hold down a tarp, some chains, jackstands, a jack, and a few other things which are now under and behind my front seats, car drives well that way.
