snow drivings ace mate,select high,floor it till kick down,little flick of steering wheel left or right doesnt really matter,then adjust to suit your condition,great fun better if there is other road users so you have things to dodge...other than that get the bus...
forget that youd have to make it rwd first lol

Leave the boring awd disco with all its flashing Christmas lights on the dash at home, pick up a cheap BMW E36 and have fun on your way too and from work 
seriously.. worrying about the snow in a 3 or 400bhp rwd car is bad enough, but somebody afraid of it when they have a Landrover?!?
If you get a knife to the abs sensor wires, its even more fun of course as you'll stop the TC interfering

Haha, I can't wait for the snow this year if we get it over here at all.
I'll be picking up a 200 euro sh!tbox such as an E34 525 or something... weld the diff for some "traction" and have a blast with it... If I end up having too much fun then and stick it into a ditch, home for the 110 then and pull it out and off we go again
Snow is brilliant fun and teaches you a hell of a lot about car control too without doing silly speeds to get a car on the limit like you normally would so great for people that never even felt what it is like to be moving in a direction that your seat is not facing in
Just try to keep to the quiter roads and away from towns with any hilly or sloping roads in case some other idiot that really hasn't got a clue hits you.
Oversteer is far easier to control than understeer anyway as you can use both the steering wheel and accelerator to adjust things when the tail steps out. If its all staying perfectly straight until it suddenly starts to slide wide and understeer across the road, your pretty much a passenger really until you hit either the hedge, wall or other car.
