Go manual in snow, either lock or the last orange before lock, not forgetting to take it back to green when doing slow manouvering

I have a dccd 6 speed but not yet fitted the dccd controller, makes for an interesting drive in the snow especially with RE070s and the 65/35 split lol

Truly woeful tyres in the snow. Had them on my car the last time it snowed and got overtaken by a Punto

Lock the dccd in snow and I believe there is a trick to disable the over tetchy abs on an Impreza too?

Yes RE070's defiinately are not good in snow but dont disable the ABS, it also takes out the EBD which isnt a good thing to remove
