Snow Driving...Who's done it so far?

I took my car on Thanksgiving from DC up to southern PA. Stayed there for two days and on the way home on Saturday, it went below freezing and started to snow up in the "mountains" where I was. Had to drive about a mile down a dirt road that was covered with snow and I thought the car did amazingly well. No sliding or anything. Once out on the highway, there was some snow on the road and the temp was 25F and I really didn't have any issues with the car. That actually really amazed me. I expected the tires to turn to rocks and not grip at all at that temperature. Temp warmed up as we came down in altitude and went above freezing, but I still was impressed with how well the tires worked at temps in the 30's.
