A good snow is one where the >temperature was always below freezing. There was enough sun and traffic to hold the road surfaces above freezing until the snow started. The first bit of snow melted, then everything froze. Nasty. A few times, I found myself driving sideways -- with my car at an 80 degree angle to the road, wheels turned hard right. Also I had it redlined in third gear to get up a slippery hill. A Torsen limited slip differential is a wonderful thing sometimes, but the tires on my new Miata really suck in the snow. -- Matthew T.
