Ford Focus 2012 hatch in snow...it sucks

Today was the second snow that my Ford Focus hatch has gone through. It was truly a scary experience. From a dead stop, the car is completely unresponsive when I mash the accelerator pedal to the floor while traction control is on. The RPMs are just above idle.

 I actually feel much more comfortable without traction control.Check out this video I found on Youtube that shows what I'm talking about.

Netflix or how not to be productive

I'm realizing I've got a vicious Netflix habit. I'm watching my new favorite TV show (right now it's White Collar from USA) on it and I'm getting nothing done and messing with my sleep schedule. I'm always saying one more episode. I think I need a break from Netflix or atleast get a little more discipline.
