I agree, my 95 is amazing in the snow, just today my friend wanted to show me where he was going to have his bonfire party, and we had to take an old (read never plowed) farm road. The snow drifts were 3 feet high in some spots, put her in 4x4 and she plowed right through it!
Prginocx, I live in Canada and it gets pretty darn cold here, like -20 is the norm in January. I let the pathy run for 5 mins in the driveway to get the oil circulating, then I drive her easy until it reaches full temperature. By the time I'm out of my neighborhood, the heater is blowing pretty hot.
I also have a "winter front" on my truck which keeps the heat in better.
