I was stupidly enough decided to drive home from my girlfriends house at 2 in the morning about 10 miles to my house was about 3 inches of snow the whole way had to drive about 10 miles an hour all the way home.
i had to stop at traffic lights about half a mile from my house and that was it i jus couldnt get up the hill.
luckly enough the fuzz came up the road in there big 4x4 effort and helped me to get home! nice one thats the only time ive ever been glad to have them pull up behind me!
its cool drivin in the snow dont ya think?

It is quite fun 
until you meet some idiot thinking they can drive like they normally would until they find they cant stop as quickly

wider tyres are a big no no for the snow

Triumph Herald on Cross Ply Tyres is great, cuts a nice rut thru the snow

the thing is, no car should have any trouble getting up hills regardless of conditions, its just chavs like you who sit in 1st gear revving the nuts off the car with a big grin on your face. Saw it so many times year before last in UK. Just stick it in 2nd, get a bit of a run up, into 3rd as hill increases to keep revs down, and before you know it, you are up hill

As CyberMonkey says
Was at girlfriends earlier, about 4-5 inches of snow and car scrapping to hell
Start off in 2nd then got to 3rd
NO problem
Love watching muppets sit in 1st and redline it making it worse
