As johnnycool said.
Everything you do do it slowly.
Ease on the throttle and the brakes especially. Release the clutch slowly.
Also change the gears sooner.
If you normally change to higher gear at 2800 rpm on snow change at 2200 to 2500 rpm.
Since yours is a diesel there is more torque on the wheels and they will spin easily in the snow if you press throttle as usual.
I can alos write you a few guidelines in Croatian if that would be easier to understand.

no no no!!! at 2200 or 2500rpm the wheels will spin like crazy.. at least on my 2,2 dti they do. nover get to 2000rpm on snow. mostly in 1300-1500 range or else it gets its full torque and will spin the wheels fast . you can drive at high revs but from what i have noticed on ice even by depressing the pedal the back slides

This was meant as a corelation Boditza, I didn't mean for him to drive at 2200 rpm but to change the gears at lower revs than he normally does when the  weather conditions are normal

sorry.. i didn't understood you.. most gas users tend to say that 3000rpm is a low speed
