First snow/ ice/ sleet
My girl was AWESOME! Semis off the road, trucks off road....pretty sure no one salted I-69 S and my jeep was cool!
Over icy/ snowy drifts! Felt very secure. THIS is why I bought a Jeep!

Glad your stoked. The Patriot will leave the rest behind in the snow. Just remember that the laws of physics still apply when you need to slow down for the turns...

Yup, remarkably stable and confidence inspiring unit in the mucky stuff.
We are having wintery mix type weather right now...today my traction control light was flicking on way too often at 100 km/h so I slowed to 80 and just kept going. All around me folks were pulling over either waiting on a plow or waiting on a change in weather (that can happen here, 1 degree up and it turns to rain, ten minutes later its all washed away and roads are clear.)

It's okay, John. If you were here with me now, I'd give you a very long and large hug. I'd listen to you. Hear you out. Discuss potential solutions for the problems we've got. I feel like after such a session you'd feel better, perhaps even "good," but either way, I just wanna reach out to you on this sad, sad afternoon. Chin up, John! Let's get through this.

Forget the laws of physics and whammo!

so, yes i needed a tug to get the front wheels back up on the road. I'm FWD with year old stock SRAs...and the pictures are after I dug it out quite a bit. It was stuffed in snow.

Had mine out last night - first good snow in SW Pa. Did pretty well - tires are Goodyear LS-2 (factory A/S type with stock 16" steel wheels). This is my first non-truck 4x4.

I take 465 S then. A 20 minute drive is almost always 45 minutes min. In the snow, at least an hour. Ps....ever driven on I-69 with these *******s who break when the wind changes? Or if it rains??? I used to drive an hour and a half on country one way roads to work. I've played "chicken" when I just wanted to get my baby girl and go HOME after work. If I've moved up to "cushy" I-69 in the world, cool.

Glad to hear she did well in the snow. I'm still waiting for the first real test for mine. We keep just getting teased here.
