I've driven in cold country all my life. Seems to me there are a couple of important things to remember.
First, everyone who drives a big 4WD whatever needs to realize that they may get going faster, but everyone has 4WS (that's four wheel stop). SUV's and pickups going too fast aren't safe.
Second, moderation and consistancy are the most important thing in snow and ice conditions. If you don't try to start or stop too fast, and you don't get your tires spinning or skidding, you're probably gonna be OK.

I met a guy from Colorado...close to Greeley (starts with an L)...yeah anyways, we were joking about the idiots that drive in the snow that aren't used to it (not you John)! He said he laughs every time he passes some vehicle off the side of the road with a California license plate. So sad! But for some reason his 88 Pontiac did well in the snow! I think it had something to do with the fact that he bought it from some Mexicans that made it into a super low rider
Now that'd be a funny site in snow!
