Why does my car always seem to 'fishtail' in snowy conditions? 200 1990

I have new tires (all season) - ok - I know all season is not as good as snow tires, but this car drives like shit when there is even very little snow or residue on the road. It fishtails (I think that is the right term - the back end of the car slides all over the place) I had to put tube sand in the rear to help it settle down. I'm not sure - do I just have crappy new tires? Do all of these cars drive like this?
