I can appreciate that. Thanks for the clarification. My solution since this has happened (at the insistance of my commuter friend, and no argument from me), was if it's drizzling - she's driving. The guy I bought the car from is a friend / mechanic and he keeps it running for me. Clutch went out, he fixed it. Gas line, fan belts, etc etc. If it breaks down, he grabs a tow truck and picks me up, and takes care of the problem. This car sat for two years before I bought it so after a few instances of that it looks like we finally got all the kinks worked out. Point being, as long as it's running (which it has for like 8 months without trouble), I won't bother him with this as long as I have alternatives.
It looks as if the most obvious answer is the tires at this point. Like I said though, I have alternatives in bad whether, so when I'm ready - I'll try that. No rush. I just have never really driven a car that reacted that poorly in that kind of weather - so I thought I'd get some input from the TFP.
No hard feelings Bubba. Your point is well taken.
