Default So.... we got snow now. What does everyone do with their ESP? (m)

I know this may be one of the dreaded REPOSTS but prolly not since last winter, right?
Anyway, I find that I really get confusing signals from the car when ESP is on and its hard to know what to do with the controls to counterract what the car is doing wrong.
Just wondering.

Default Leave it on. It's safer and faster. I vaguely remember a story

about some rally drivers improving their times with ESP equipped cars. I turn it off only when at the track or when I want to get sideways in the snow.

Leave ESP on, works great in the snow unless you are stuck.
