This has been the mildest winter in NY in as long as I can remember. We had one dusting of snow. Last year we had like 9 feet every three days for 4 months straight.
We haven't even had winter up here in MA yet. We've gotten some flurries at night that is pretty much clear by the AM. I've yet to do any sort of snow driving.
But when i do...this thing is incredible in snow. It's AWD, but there is a SNOW-mode button that basically locks the transfer case into a speed-limited part time 4WD. I call it "beast mode" and have yet to get the car stuck in some pretty deep stuff
