I am still getting used to my VX in the snow too. I have owned a Ford 4x4 pickup and a Ford Explorer 4x4. Both vehicles reacted quite a bit different in the snow then my VX has. It doesn't really feel like it has true 4x4, which maybe it doesn't?? I get quite a bit of snow driving practice in MN, currently my street has been frozen with snow since December. It seems to react more like a rear-wheel drive car then a 4x4 truck. The handling doesn't seem quite there when you are driving on all hard pack snow or a mix of hard pack and cement. I find my back end kicking out a lot when giving it some pedel, which normally wouldn't happen on a 4x4 truck when 4x4 high.
