Welcome back, Snow.
With light flurries falling on my way home from work last night, I shook it off and went for my slumber. I awoke to find a nice dusting had fallen. Took these pictures on the way to my 9:30 class this morning. It's not that much, but just remember it's October 29th, and mountains or no mountains, I'm still in North Carolina.
Looks like this winter is going to be a good one

When a part-time 4WD (without a centre differential) is in 4WD an attempts to corner on bitumen, all wheels need to rotate at different speeds, but without a centre differential they cannot. This creates the phenomena called "axle windup" or "transmission windup". High strain is placed on the drive shafts and transmission, eventually causing one of two things to happen. Either one of the wheels slips or spins to overcome the stress or the drive-shaft/transmission BREAKS. This is why part time 4WD’s should never select 4WD on bitumen.

Well yes you do need an excuse for H4 because you can do a lot off damage to your JK if the snow isn't deep!

As for the (!) and the Terra Grapplers. The (!) is on because my tire pressure drops when it's cold out. I hadn't had the opportunity to bump up to 35psi yet. I like to run at 32psi, but with the cold the Jeep doesn't like it. As for the Nitto's, so far so good. But as you can see, this isn't much snow so will have to wait on the real test I suppose.
