So this winter is the first winter with my Civic Si. Today we got our first snow fall and I got stuck half way up a hill I take to get to work because of the traction control. I turned it off and was able to make it up the rest of the hill without a problem. I noticed starting from a start was slow also and was much much easier and quicker without the TC. I drove the rest of the way to work with the TC off and will probably drive in the snow with it off from now on (only in the City of course, highway I'll just keep it on). I feel like applying the brakes and slowing the car down to the point of getting stuck on a hill is pretty dangerous.
My previous car was a Ford Escape, it had AWD so the TC barely came on and the 2 cars before that were an Acura 1.6EL and 1.7EL (basically Civics for you US folks) did not have TC so I never had this problem.
Also wtf with the long combo you have to perform to turn off TC lol.
So who else turns off the TC in the snow?
