Default Bump steer in the snow

We just got our first snow of the season! However, it brings up a troubling issue. I got 31's this summer and have noticed a slight increase in bump steer. Today though, driving through the snow was extremely unpredictable. It seems as though the bump steer is much worse in the snow. Could the bigger tires and offset rims be causing this? And if so, would a steering stabilizer help?
Thanks!

Make sure to post back if you think it made a difference. My blazer actually has the mount on the engine cradle for a steering stabilizer. But my draglink doesn't have a mount on it. I'd like to get one of those $45 kits off ebay and try them out. But I'm broke with a baby on the way.

I've got the same mount on the engine cradle, but I'm really confused now on which kit I need to buy. Some come with mounts, others don't but say they attach to stock mounts???
