Pardon my laughter, the thought of a Black Series trying to come off a traffic light in snow is just comical.
Glad you made it without damage.

Honestly, it was a miracle how I got home. I had to drive up a huge escarpment too in Hamilton... Any loss in forward motion and I was done.. As soon as I got to my driveway, I got stuck... Thats where the two hours came in.

That was me on John St! heading to my apt. Next time u see me just honk and i'll pull over for a random chat.

What tires were you on? It should be "manageable" with a decent set of winter tires.

Actually my experience with the Corsa's on my BS in the snow was that they actually hooked up from a stop somewhat, sorta, kinda, decent, all things considered. It was the stopping that was impossible, touch the brakes and the tires just plow with zero bite, it actually feels like the car speeds up before it slows down. Thank god I only had to drive less than 2 miles from my garage to my warehouse. None-the-less it is not something I ever want to do again.
