And I have DW, and driveing on a snow coverd road you get the road vibrations of the snow, basically does the dw more likely happen alot easier because of this?

Clench up, grip the wheel hard, and just be ready to counter steer

I know where youre coming from. I just heard about tomorrows blizzard. Ive been putting off checking/changing my TC oil. I just got under there tonight only to find out that my hex socket is a 3/8 and not a 10mm. Im not even gonna try it as it was a real loose fit. Ill be up early tomorrow to run down to advance to pick up the proper 10 mm hex socket. Good luck with your dw and the snow.

Just drive slower. If people don't like it, they should learn to drive in the snow.

Well if you get DW at those speeds in the snow I agree with RubberSideUp. Just drive slower.
