Had some answers but lost the info.

Can anyone tell me how a welded rear will perform on a snowy street in 2wd? Its snowing right now and I got to thinking about it on the drive home. I know how it performs on dry roads and in tight situations such as parking lots etc. and can live with the noise and tire wear.

Just curious because in PA, one road is plowed to the pavement and the next has not been touched. Most of the time I can get around in 2wd if I'm easy on the stupid pedal and without SOTF I'd like to leave it that way. However a welded rear would really help on the trail and my next project (Zuzu 12 bolt) may see both streets and trails.
However, I'd like to know how it is on any axle.

I forgot if the rear end of the rig tries to overtake the front resulting in a spin. Maybe I am thinking about it wrong. Its been years since I had a welded rear and I forgot how it drives.

Thanks to all in adavnce for helping me with my memory lapse
