You can get away with all seasons in winter especially if its just dry and cold like right now. Summers though on the other hand seem to turn into plastic in anything less than 10 degrees

Thankfully Toronto snow management services are actually pretty decent at responding to snow storms and keeping roads plowed.
It would appear that, unfortunately, winter is finally upon us. That bitch. |

My first time driving a lowered RWD car as well. Even with the front end plowing the snow and the underneath rubbing I was very impressed with how well the car did on Blizaks. I was also very impressed that the traction control does not leave the car useless and allows the tire to actually spin a bit to keep up momentum.

I love that..."just fine". I had an e92 335 with winter tires for 3 years and never once on a day like today was the ride "just fine". You have to plan your route to avoid hills and traffic. One wheel drive in this much snow is not fun. Only happens once or twice a year though. I would have parked it today. About 10 inches of snow around my car since 8am. Youre right, ride home will be more difficult.

You're one wheel drive comment shows your lack of knowledge of snow driving and how the suspension overall works, but that's okay, everyone on this forum loves talking about LSD's. Try spinning one wheel and see what happens to the rear end of a car, then try spinning both wheels and see what happens to the rear end of the car, an LSD is not for low traction situations, especially not the wavetrac genre. As long as you can get the car moving, you will have less slip and less and less oversteer with the open diff, but if you can't even get moving that's a diff story (LSD will provide small benefit). Out of all your posts how many are about all seasons?
