I've been caught a couple times in 5+ inches snow on my Summer tires. Car handles fine but I know I can't stop or make it up a hill from a standing stop.
Even Black ice on a 270 degree exit ramp, car's balanced handling and not panicking kept me off the curb and out of the alignment shop (It still didn't keep me from having to change my underwear)
I think the limited traction forces us to drive very conservatively and keeps us out of the ditches along side all the 4x4 trucks and SUVs (I have a 4x4 but I keep it on the road)
Retroman1969 - I notice 1500 RPMs on night picture (Should you really be taking pictures Driving, at night, in the snow) Sorry - With a manual, it would be hard to drive with rpm's that low
