DUDE!

Yes, you are carrying WAAAAAAAAAAY too much weight in the back. Anything over 100-120 lbs extra on the rear axel will only undermine performance. Additionally, should you get in a spin the massive weight you are carrying is going to toss you around like a rag doll, throwing off the weight distribution of your volvo.

I woulkd scrap ALL your bags and go pick up a 50lb bag of rock salt and a 50lb bag of sand and place them side by side on the rear axel. Not only is this the perfect weight combo for the snow, but the salt and sand can help you should you find yourself in an icy or snowy situation.
