I looove this weather! We're getting hamered by a storm here right now 
The JK is super in the snow; the only thing holding it back is the all season tires.

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

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!
