I drove 250 miles in snow, you just have to drive below 40mph.

I could've told you that. I got stuck in snow once and it was horrible. The car would barely go straight.

I drove my FD in the slow for about 20 meters, which was the distance between the towing truck to my storing garage. I could barely move

My car will not go up a 1 degree incline in the snow. If you have any kind of summer performance tires, don't drive in the snow.

I learned that a LONG time ago with my FB. I had RE-71's on it, backed it out of the garage (to clean the garage floor) when there was about 1/2-inch of snow, and couldn't get it to move to get it back in. Even though it was a REALLY slight incline, I had to put sand down to get it to move!
