OMG, Real Snow!

Not sure where to post this question, but... I haven’t experienced snow in my ST yet as I’ve been in NC till recently. I’m now in the greater Philadelphia area doing a Santa gig through Christmas. Apparently we are expecting significant snowfall. Any tips on piloting this beast through the white stuff? Do the alternate drive settings make any difference?
Thanks in advance and best holiday wishes to all of you from the real Santa! F0CB564B-F613-480D-B91F-EF9D25632254.jpeg

HEY! Where's the pony you promised me last year? While we don't get snow down here in South Carolina I used to live in N.J. and drove several 4wd up there. The "snow" setting on the ST, like the others I drove, will change the shift parameters and adjust the power delivery fore and aft to accommodation conditions. Use it, and start out cautiously until you get the feel for how this rig handles. And remember, when you put the brakes on you lose the four wheel drive advantage and you're the same as everyone else.

And always remember, very easy on the gas and brakes. Excess of either on snow is not good.
