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

Thanks for the thought - that's not it though. My dad drove it with the same problem - he drove a cab in the city for 15 years and has been driving for like 50 years. He too thought the car handles very, very poorly in snow. As an example, I stoped at a light, snowy residue over the ground, and when the light changed, and I went to turn onto the road, very slight pressure on the gas, the car's ass end spun out from under me, big time. Those simple snow conditions make me feel very uncomfortable driving this car. I think it just needs snow tires maybe. I don't know.
