Well, all of you must be talking about driving on the flats. Here in Albuquerque we don't get much snow, but even a little keeps my car in the garage because I live on the low end of a slight rise, with the driveway perpendicular to the rise. So to get going, I have to back out of the driveway, swing the rear of the car up the hill, and back up the hill to a resting spot, all while maintaining momentum. At the resting spot, I can then turn around and get a little momentum to make it up the rest of the hill. So if I really need to leave the house, I back out of the garage really fast and hope for the best. So far my neighbors behind me haven't seen me accelerating toward their house, backwards. They might have a thing or two to say about it.
