How do Insights drive in the snow?

I had a 2001 Insight with CVT that handled quite well on a New Year's trip a few years back from Louisville, KY up through Montana, Idaho, Snoqualmie & Lookout Pass, all the way to Silverdale, WA and back again in pretty snowy conditions -- although I stayed on the interstates where it was fairly well packed down and/or plowed. It does just as fine as any other front wheel drive car in light to moderate snow and icy conditions. The limiting factor is the low nose on it. If the snow starts getting too deep (3" to 4" higher than the street) you'll risk damaging the air dam as you start plowing through.
