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

 

In NC you need four wheel drive for that?

You could never make it up north

 

That's a start,awesome I can't wait to get our fare share
We here will get about 12" of white fun.
It's fun driving around the cars on hills

 

No salt+curvy hilly back road = Better safe then sorry. And honestly, do I really need an excuse to put it in 4wd?

 

how come you have the (!) ? i love the snow i can't wait.
and how do you terra grapplers do in the snow?


EDIT:
just got some snow today here too

 

I too would like to hear how the tires do in the snow. I'm coming up on my first snow season with my micky's

 

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!

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.

 

Not seeing anything yet outside my window, but the news is saying some areas got around 5". That time of year.

 

Looking at those road conditions he should be ok, as long as he's not noticing binding while driving/turning then no worries.

 

Didn't know it was that big of deal. I mean, I'm not one to dog my vehicle, Just trying to be safe

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.
