Does It Help Much In The Winter

does a t loc make it easier to drive in the winter , and does having gears make it more difficult to drive in the snow due to faster accel?

i have only been in florida since september.. i was stationed in Kodiak Alaska for 2 years before i came down here. i definitely know what driving in snow and ice is. any rear wheel drive car sucks in the snow.. front wheel drive cars do a lot better, expecially with studded tires. and if you decide to put studs on ANYTHING make sure you put it on ALL the tires.. not just the drive line ones.. having half the tires bite and the other half not = bad results
