Forget the snow (it never snows here), but just fog on a cool morning is enough to make my 350SD just about undriveable with its tail-happiness. Everything is fine until that turbo spools, I don't care how carefully you drive it, in wet conditions there's always going to be a "hip wiggle" when making a right turn and merging onto a main road. I'm no fan of "traction control" or "AWD" but that car needs something!
