spinning tires in the snow
how bad is it to have ur back tires spin in the snow or on ice? because where i am at most of the roads are ice and it hard to get traction so they spin a lot when they start out, is that really bad? or is there anything i should watch out for

Normal spinning, with a reduction of throttle to regain some traction, won't hurt anything. Excessive spinning can actually melt some rubber off.
The traction control doesn't kick in? The brake-lock -differential, and possibly the traction control, should apply brakes to minimize the spin.
Maybe you should be in 4wd if it's too slippery.
