Grew up in Idaho, much snow each winter, plus, I liked to ski, so snow driving was de rigueur
One of the best cars ever (IMHO) was the first generation Honda Civic CVCC, and the first gen Honda Accord CVCC. I think it was a combination of light weight, narrow tires, low power and a 5 speed that was geared very well that made it easy to control speed, stopping and steering.
Living in Portland, I hardly ever drive in the snow anymore, so I bet I'm as rusty as an old nail, but I have a 4WD Toyota to get me through and so far, it's been good. (And I really try to avoid driving in Portland when there's snow on the road. People here can be absolute idiots.)
