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

I have experienced similar difficulties during the vermont winters in my 88' 245DL, I recently purchased a set of Gislaven Nordfrost snow tires, OEM Volvo, which have made driving much better. The rear end of the wagon is very light and takes a light touch while driving in the snow. Like any car handling it in adverse conditions amounts to experience; go out and drive in the snow! Our family having owned 200 wagons since 83', I can tell you however that the sandbag trick is not uncommon.

Good Luck!
