Ron,
I have a correction to my post. Some day I'm liable to learn fractions. It should read 8/64" tread which is an eigth of an inch not a quarter inch. So I guess I was driving on bald tires in 7" of snow. I'd say that the car is pretty competent. I also found out that on incipient skidding I should not have backed off the throttle to regain traction like I used to do in my old FWD SAAB. I should have SMOOTHLY (emphasis on smooth) applied a little more power to shift the torque rearward. Interesting this AWD. I'll have to find a good ice patch to check things out and relearn proper procedures.
PS: Your black SVX is probably now slush gray colored like my Pearly.
