[@]@Metric1[/@] thankfully I had mine installed the other week when I was in for maintenance, otherwise I would of had to leave my car where it was overnight until today before I could have gotten to it.
[@]@GommeInc[/@] Driving carefully is obviously the biggest factor yes but I think some of it had to do with luck too. A lot of people didn't think we were getting snow, but rain. When we got so much snow I think it threw a lot of people off guard, and caught a lot of people in really bad scenarios in terms of having to navigate home in.

Stick it in the highest gear possible and go slow but steady....
I had a fair few lessons in the snow last year as my instructor wanted me to get the experience
-
i wont even drive in rain lol
-
When it snowed really heavily in the UK just before last Christmas I still had my driving lesson, the instructor said it was a good opportunity to get some practice driving in snow!!
Was fantastic, passing all the BMW etc getting stuck haha. Learnt a lot from doing it though, glad he didn't cancel the lesson now.

This will be my fourth winter I can drive, last year was definitely the worst. Didn't bother raising my car so it ended up as a snowplough and got stuck on the subframe everywhere once it turned to ice.
This year I'm using the E30, which no doubt will be terrible.
-
There was no way I was even going near my E90 with bald tires in the snow yesterday.. safe to say it's parked for the winter.. RWD in that weather would have been a joke!
UPDATE, this morning I wasn't so lucky.. my brothers had to push my car out

I did some driving in the snow 2 winters ago when I was learning. It was pretty fun actually, just need to be extra careful. It was interesting trying to practice reversing around corners, when I couldn't even see the curb.

nope. but i'm seriously dreading it SO SO much. the roads around my uni house are all narrow, congested with cars because it's all terraced houses. so i'm gonna hate parking (i don't reverse park cuz i can't and only go into big & easy spaces) and paranoid someone will hit my car and at home last yr the car couldn't get up the road where i live (home not uni house) because it was so icy/snowy **** and cars literally just went into other cars. so i'm gonna crash, gonna have to pay £500 excess and sell an organ to make up the money :l

If you can't park a car I think the snow should be the least of your worries.

I drove in the snow for the first time last year,
Never, EVER, again.
I swear I nearly died about 6 times. I was driving down a crazy icy/snowy road, right next to a river, like, less than a metre away, I was swerving all over the place. I was absolutely terrified.
STAY INSIDE BABY.
My friend's dad was also driving on an icy road, and swerved down a congested road, and scraped like, 4 cars.. Horrific experience.
