Just reading this a month later. I been in a lot o snow in the mountians of So Calif. .. Yes we do have snow... with only 2wd you are going to be pretty limited, especially if you hit a hill. Adding some weight is definitely a good idea, and letting the air down some also helps,(don't foget to air back up when you are back on good roads). I didn't see anyone mention cable chains, they can help a lot, and don't forget when stopping 2wd or 4wd, once you are skidding they slide in the direction of the nearest tree at the same rate..
