Yeah, you're not kidding. I fly small planes at a local airport. A few weeks ago I pulled into the parking lot and there was about an inch of snow on the lot (probably the only pavement within 50 miles that wasn't plowed).
First gear became useless when I was trying to pull out. I had to reverse and hit the brakes to kind of slide, then I was able to turn around and let the tires spin and spin and spin - that got me enough momentum to get sliding down a hill partially sideways. Not fun.
The first time I was driving home from work in light snow, I found that the tires will break lose in 3rd and 4th gear above 3,000rpm. Total insanity but incredibly fun  <--MFW this started happening.
