Ice / snow driving can be really good fun, but occasionally scary. The MX-5 is utter bliss on empty snow covered roads. The low speed stuff when you're on a bit of a gradient and an almost stationary car starts sliding faster and faster with all four wheels helplessly locked redefines sphincter tightening though.
The M5 is hilarious on snow Dave. i do make sure I wash the salty stuff off though

I don't have any pics in the M5 yet, but i had fun here a couple of years ago - driving my old e46 320d touring on a very icy Swiss mountain road. (no chains/snow tyres or anything).
This is the best I've got and i don't exactly call this extreme so I wanna see pics of you guys (and girls?) driving in much worse!

I love driving in "bad" weather conditions, especially snow. Am i weird..?
Who has some good pictures of themselves and their /M in some extreme conditions - be it arctic ice, snow, crazy heat etc?
Are you weird? YES!! Seriously though, driving a rear wheel drive car with an LSD can be very entertaining in these conditions. Don't forget to pack a spare set of under-wear though!
