I live in Plainfield IL (southwest Chicago Burbs) and we got the shaft also. Just wet slushy stuff. Although last Friday we were hit with about 12" of snow. The JK plowed right through 2 foot high drifts with no trouble. I love this thing, I can't believe I waited this long to buy a 4x4.

I live on the southside of Chicago (Bridgeport), had no issues plowing through the allyways in my JK Rubi.

Snow?! Who cares about freaking snow...we dont drive Hummers...we drive Jeep's.

You're all making me jealous! I miss that stuff so much. I grew up in Dupage Co. (Wood Dale, Bloomingdale), parents still live in Bloomingdale. Of course we didn't have a snow blower back then, but they do now, figures

hPOD I grew up in Bridgeport in Chicago on 36th and Lowe! I miss the 12" deep ruts through the allys, espically trying to pull into the garage! BTW send me a Phill's pizza or Freddie's beef! LOL

My jeep stops for a rail exchange in Chicago from Ohio. Hopefully those Americans can deal with a little bit of snow and get it on its way to my hometown in Canada. eh!
