Going sideways on purpose in the dry and catching it is always good practice in the right car. I try to avoid it in the Elky. With that long wheelbase it tends to keep rotating.
At my former place of employment if the snow was falling hard the boss would just run to a local fried chicken place and buy lunch for the employees. There were usually 6 or 8 people working so not a major expense. It prevented employees having to go out to lunch and be gone for a long time due to weather. Anytime it was snowing hard I would tell him "It smells like chicken today" when I first saw him in the morning.
One time we had a "perfect snow." It started snowing HARD at about 8:30 and everyone was at work already. Around 11:15 the boss went to get chicken in his 4 wheel drive Suburban and as he got back it quit snowing. By 4:30 the roads were dry and the snow was only left on the grass.
