Here in Colorado we have frequent, but short lived snowstorms in the winter. By short lived I mean that we get a snow fall event one day, and the next day its sunny and 50 degrees out. Those of you in Colorado know what I'm talking about.
The "next day" is a very difficult situation to decide how to use four wheel drive. There are still patches of ice/snow, mixed with wet road surfaces and tons of slush. And when the temperature drops below freezing again that night, the roads become patches of dry and black ice.
I often find myself driving down the road constantly shifting into and out of 4 wheel high range in these situations.
Am I doing something smart or am I being paranoid? I don't want my NP 231 to snap like a fortune cookie...
