Richard,  I drove home from Hagerstown MD last sunday.  We started out in 
cold but dry conditions and it stayed that way pretty much all the way to 
Fredericksburg VA.  Between there and Richmond it turned to a snowy fog with 
some slush on the road that continually got worse as we went south.  By the 
time we got to Petersburg VA I had my tuck in Auto 4 wd.  It stayed there 
and was some times necessary all the way to Rocky Mount NC.  By then it was 
getting dark and I was getting off of I-95 onto lesser traveled 4 lane 
roads.  At that point it was I was locked into 4WD and stayed that way all 
the way home for the last 100 miles or so.
