We've got about 3-4 inches in the higher spots here in Woodinville. Not much of anything last night, but today it's been light but steady since the early part of the morning.

This is the first winter I've had the jeep (got it in July). It's 2wd and I'm not sure how it's going to handle in the snow - I expect OK. I put 4 bags of sand over the rear axle. I'm going to take it out in a bit (been watching football) and see how she handles. Hoping for the best!

Not yet. I'm going to get it out on the road in a bit. I've got to make a run to Bellevue to see some people.

Have you had yours out in the snow yet today?
