Default Only one tire spinning on my 89' Civic Hatch?

I live in Wisconsin and today the plow ***** decided to plow me in. I shoveled my way out as best as i could. After i got into the car and tried to get out again, i noticed that only one wheel was spinning?!? I assume that this is because of the LSD? But i thought that wasn't an option on this year of civic? Help me out here!

I bought the car second hand and have no idea who's owned it or whats been done to it. I just figured that one tire spinning would indicate LSD.

LSD would make both tires spin. Not having an LSD only one tire would spin.

LSD = Limited Slip, the car prevents you from slipping by transferring traction to the other wheel. Non LSD = you only have one driving wheel

as everyone has already said, you do not have an LSD. both wheels would be spinning if you did.
