I’ve been having a lot of fun in the Colorado snow. The KO3’s are fantastic in the snow so far.

How's the Thule rack holding up?
Holding up well, only complaint is that sometimes it’s a little loud. Eventually I plan on replacing the whole setup with a different rack.
Took our daughter sledding tonight and then drove around in the snow for a while.The roads were completely covered in snow and I decided to try out the auto setting on MTS. I could barely break traction, the the system didn’t feel intrusive worked incredibly well. I also locked the center diff just because a couple times, but I definitely didn’t need to.

Took my LC for a walk recently to Cascades. On stock tires (because I'm dumb and car poor 
). It was pulling me up to the mountain through the snow until it started really sitting on its belly on snow piled up between the tracks and I've chickened out and turned around back to my comfort zone near starbucks and malls 
I bet it could keep going, but I was alone 30+ minutes drive away to the nearest place with cellular reception without any recovery gear and people around 
Also lack of protection like steel bumper and proper skid plates didn't boost my confidence.

How did it do? Which tires?
No snow here in FL. How is the heated seats and steering wheel working?
The advantage of AT tires in the snow comes when we drive in new snow buildup and slush or packed snow to some extent. Figure the tires handle the variability in the driving surface the same way they would handle dirt or mud. They do very little for ice though, and may possibly give up some ice performance to a highway tire which has more surface contact at any given moment.
I notice most snow tires don’t have AT-looking tread patterns, something of a tell there.

Satisfactory for me.
