especially that this winter had almost no snow here in the DC metro area
and the one day it snowed, my winter tires sucked big time. Zero traction.
Even with the 235/255 (Dunlop Wintersport 3D) traction wasn't great in the dry, however, wheel spin wasn't too bad and high-speed stability/driving was good in the wet and dry.

Which winter tire were you using? Was it a snow/ice or performance winter tire?
