Only if you have studded winter tires that are in good condition. Throw in a sprinkling of powder and there's nothing even a professional WRC driver could do.

Another personal favorite is driving on ice with a tiny layer of sun melted water so you can also hydroplane.





I've hydroplaned on the motorway many times. It is a big scary but as long as you don't touch the brakes and continue straight you are ok.

I've driven FWD cars in heavy snow and it isn't that bad. You just have to go half the speed you normally would.
