Snow driving

Ok I drove the Expy for the first time in the snow(I've had her for 3 years)What range of 4WD do you use when there is any accumulation of snow on the ground?She handeled pretty good in 2WD but was a little sketchy at times.
PS Im to lazy to read the manual. This is quicker

For regular driving in snow use high, if you are pulling a really heavy boat up a slippery ramp or trying to get unstuck from mud or deep snow use low

Yeah, depending on the snow, I almost always use 4 high. If I am going to go downtown and I am almost certain that I am not going to pass another vehicle, if the snow is deep enough that I am going to be driving at 5 mph or less, then I use 4 low. Other than that, 4 high!

I have been through quite a bit of snow on many raod trips for snowboarding, etc. and have always used 2WD .

No problems yet . . . of-course I only have 2WD . . . limited slip

I live in MA where we get a bit of snow....My pattern is....I fthe road coverge is spotty I use A4WD.....If there is good coverage of snow I use 4HI...The only time I have had to use 4LOW is the storm recently when we got about 3 feet of snow and I had to drive through the 6 foot (or so) snow bank in front of my driveway.
