Cindy, I had the exact same problem back in December after the first decent MI snowfall. Had about 2" in the driveway and I couldn't even get the Xfire to the road with the summer rubber. Rocked it back and forth, tried second gear, traction control on and off and nothing but spin. Finally I strapped it to my Jeep from the tow hook under the rear bumper and I pulled it (gently) out of the driveway. It's been in the garage ever since. I am seriously considering the Dunlop Winter Sport M3s so I can at least take a chance in the snow if something happens to the Jeep. The nice thing about the Dunlops is they come in the Crossfire stock rim sizes front and rear (although I'm still skeptical that a rear tire that size will grip well in snow regardless of tread pattern).
