Setup info for snow...

1. Soften your rear bar. Front too if you can.

2. Soften your shocks to caddy like ride if you can. (Not autocross full hard)

3. Lower your tire pressure a bit. The sipes need to be able to open and close, so the 35-40PSI you run in the summer for sidewall stiffness is too much. Not so much that the tire really bulges and has a much larger footprint. Lower in the rear will also help avoid oversteer.
