The Jeep laughs at rain, and handles ice and snow very well. I've driven cross-country during snowstorms in the Jeep with no problems, and that was on the OEM tires.

I couldn't drive it for a month, but it does handle great in the snow for me!

Watch a track day with the Jeeps running the course. I think the Jeep is awesome in the elements.

I put mine through a winter in minnesota, it did fine on all the ice and snow. I hated the salt though. Rain hasn't been a problem either.
The AWD really makes it great year around sports car.

To be honest

Mine is crap in the rain and the snow....slides like crazy...maybe its just the type of surface they layed on the road...its rocks and either aspault or cement mixed...its real slippery when wet, i can go outside and slide with my shoes on...so yah....this is 20 min north of Toronto so...

Its decent in ice and snow, great in the rain. Got winter rims/tires this year. Between the bwoody lowering springs and the 315/275 combo i'm sure i didnt do myself a favor in making it more stable in ice and snow.

Last February I fuound my self in a snow/sleet mix of about 3", and I was about 120 miles from home. Traffic was moving about 35-45 MPH on the highway. It did just fine. When I got close to home on the side roads, I was messing around punching it from a stop. The traction control worked great, and minimizied wheel slippage, then crept through the snow. I thought it was going to be worse than it was, and was sh*tting my pants at first. I only owned the Jeep for about 3 weeks.
