I've seen other threads speaking about two solutions.

1) Winter tires.
2) E-Break.

im probably of no help. ive been driving through 30 Michigan winters with front wheel drive cars and all weather tires. once in a while I think about winter tires. while they would be better for driving in the snow, I end up driving on pavement 90% of the time due to all the plowing and/or salt.

a few winters ago we had 124 inches of snow (we usually average around 80 in) and I still felt no need for snow tires.

since you live in Virginia, id definitely say save your $350 and just slow down a bit when needed.
