Yep. Used to live in Edmonton, Alberta. Drove my car several years in the snow. Let me put it to you this way: Mustangs SUCK in the snow.

There are a couple of things that you can do to help, but the best thing to do is get another car for the winter.

1. GOOD set of snow tires (this is a MUST)

2. Weight in back end (I used to put 4 sand bags in my 95 GT. 2 in the trunk and 1 behind each seat)

3. Change how you drive. The 5.0 has a lot of torque, you're going to have to be real careful when you drive. I found that stopping and turning were OK, even better than my wifes FWD cavalier (you have that heavy V8 out front). But soon as you hit the gas your a** end is going to go sideways.
