4. It's not too complicated
Drive slowly.

don't make sudden moves with the steering wheel, make GRADUAL moves.

don't brake or accellerate too quickly.

when braking "pump" the brake: hit it, back off, hit it again so you slow down in stages.

give yourself LOTS of distance between yourself and other traffic. Alway ASSUME the driver in front of you is an idiot and doesn't know how to drive on snow.

It's always good to know exactly where you are going so that you can plan for lane changes and exits well in advance.

Front-wheel drive is pretty good in snow....if you skid remember to steer in the direction you want the car to go and DON'T SLAM ON THE BRAKES!!!!

You'll do fine.....
