You know what you guys need? Heated roads! 
We do! Someone’s already on it: Solar Freakin’ Roadways
Does this Jeep have part-time 4wd and if so where you in 4 high or 4 lock or whatever?
I bought an extra set of plain wheels for the winter tires, too.
To my mind, winter tires are absolutely essential safety equipment where I live (Toronto, travelling around S. Ontario). You can really feel the difference - so much better control.
It seems to me foolish to worry about the minutae of car performance features but ignore the most important one - where the rubber meets the road. If that doesn’t work well, nothing else will. Yet I know many people who will not buy winter tires and insist that “all seasons” are just as good.
Agree 100%. So-called “all-seasons” are a compromise in good weather and an even bigger compromise in winter. Most people just don’t want to bother with it all, but anybody who has ever white-knuckled it on snow and ice should know that there’s a better way. 
I went with aftermarket-refinished stock rims for my snow tires. Car looks stock in the winter, but the rims - recovered from wrecks, and refinished to OEM colors - cost about 1/2 the price of new OEM rims. If you do this, it’s important to have the tire shop measure these rims for runout before mounting snow tires; occasionally you get one that’s out of round.
I store my tires/rims in my garage and swap them out myself. For the less mechanically inclined, there are service shops that will store whichever tires/rims you currently are not using, and change them out for you when you visit them in the spring/fall. If you commute on snowy roads regularly, and don’t have snow tires because you live somewhere that you can’t store or change tires, you might consider that option.
I just have one set of rims and I have the tires swapped. I must have waited too long in the spring, or put them on too soon this fall, because one pair which I have only had a couple of winters already needs to be replaced. The new pair I got after hitting a curb and ripping a hole in one a year ago is still OK. I go so slow in snow that all-seasons would probably be OK, but I figure in the off-chance that the snows would make a difference it’s better if I have them.
I’ve only done a 180, safely off onto the shoulder, but I remember when I was a kid, the day of a funeral of a relative. My father was driving our Datsun B210 (yes, it’s small and light) and did a nice neat 360 approaching a light. No one was around and he ended up where he started – after I realized we were OK, I thought “Do it again!”
No, this was a Grand Cherokee with full-time, or all-wheel drive. I even had it on the “snow” setting!
Thanks for all the snow tire info-- I’m definitely considering snow tires now, and if I do I’ll go for separate rims as well.
