Ugh it's the worst! I woke up a a nice fresh couple of inches and despite being FWD that mean FUN FUN FUN! whip the corners, slide into the parking spot! all the fun things snow allows you to do. BUT NOOOOOO I forgot they put an upgraded stability control on the last model year of the Seville. try to slide, NOPE! just snaps back in line and pulls through like it's not even snowy! BAH
Just kidding I still love her :D

No TC off button? Reverse donuts? Pull the ABS fuse!

Ha, all the truths man. My wife's vehicle is the same way, it's rear-biased AWD so anytime it snows I try to have fun around all the corners. It starts to slide (woohoo!) but then there is some weird grinding noises and before you know it, everything is pointed in the right direction (boo...) then I get a look a supreme disappointment on my face. I call it the fun wrecker system.

your traction control and stability control is done by checking each wheel speed. Unplug a wheel sensor and slide around to your hearts content then once you've finished hooning plug it back in. At least that's what I used to do

Lol nah Bingham is my last name, fun fact...ish I used to live in a town called Bingham, Binghamton sounds like a fun place to live lol
unless you want to pull a fuse for the tcs,abs and stability control then that's the only other way i can think of doing it. Also abs and snow don't really work together, I did a test a few weeks back with my car and a friends car. Mine a 2000 Vauxhall zafira no abs, his a 2012 seat Ibiza with abs and in a snowy car park I could out brake him in a car that's heavier. The abs kicks in to much and actually made the stopping distance around 6-7 car lengths more.
not very scientific roughly 30mph and stomp on the brakes.
