(1) Snow tires, snow tires, snow tires. Nothing works better for tracking through snow than snow tires. Regular all weather tires pack up instantly, giving no traction at all. Tires made for snow have deep and wide grooves to vent snow. Snow tires are made from softer compounds to give better traction. Planning is essential here. Snow tires should be in your garage and ready to go, mounted on basic steel rims. Get all four tires for the best traction, if you can afford it. Otherwise two for the drive wheels will have to suffice.
(2) Add weight to the drive wheels. Many vehicles are rear wheel drive with the engine and transmission weight up front. With little weight in the rear, wheels easily spin out. If you can't find any sandbags in your garage to fill up the trunk, get creative! In the worse case you could stock up on bags of dog food or kitty litter, and it can double as a traction getter on ice and snow.
