Id say it depends on tyres a fair bit. Plus snow is still snow whatever your driving, all I have done is pushed my jimny to the limit to see where the limits are in the ice and snow. Im with Ne Crock.... enjoy it while its here. I love the snow in my jim

It's does happen. So it's probably not your driving.i was driving on forestry roads doing a treasure hunt in a hilux last weekend and when your change down sometimes the back end would twitch a bit.....just enjoy it......not so bad after its happened a few times as you come to expect it a bit. The hilux was on road tyres.

The J is very light and any variation in thickness and density of the snow as the wheels run through will give it the wobbles.
Just take it easy and it will get you through, just enjoy the ride

Its called lift off over steer. I had the same thing a few times, just gave it a lil bit more throttle and sorted itself out. Well most of the times anyway
Have to say, the fact you can go too and from 4wd whilst moving is quite handy at times!

Thanks for all your help, I did have another play in the snow 
and managed to replicate the problem and a bit of acceleration brought it back, under control, it felt as though the front wheels lost grip.
