if it is 'truly bad' out, 4WD won't help..... it only helps if thing are 'kinda bad'.....
One snowy night years ago, we parked my little 16' camp trailer about 50 yds from the road. I had a '72 Blazer to pull it. During the night, the snow tuned to rain and by daybreak it was a muddy mess. I put a set of chains on the rear, 'drove' 5 yds and put the other set on the front. The next 30 miles to a solid road took us over 3 hours. We weren't sinking in but it was so greasy that the trailer was swaying from barrow pit to barrow pit even at 10 mph.
