You are better off under your electric blanket when it is sleeting. There 
are 2 important things, no make that 3 important things, to remember about 
4 wheel drive be it on a Range Rover or whatever:
1. 4 wheel drive can give you a false sense of security by making road 
conditions seem better than they are.
2. Vehicles with 4 wheel drive don't stop any better than 2 wheel drive 
vehicles.
3. 4 wheel drive will get you a lot farther from help before you get stuck.

Saunterer, who loves 4 wheel drive but recommends driving it as cautiously 
as it were 2 wheel drive.
