Detroit Locker in snow

Driving inot work today after the foot of snow was a blast. One thing I tested out today was the dreaded "slush-suck". Half of the left travel lane was wet pavement, half was six inches of thick slush. With the detroit in the back, the truck stayed straight with almost no "suck" to the left into the slush. Both sets of wheels had the same drive while on the throttle. Let off the throttle, and the truck got sucked over about two feet. Back into the throttle and no more sucking. With my non-functional LSD, I dreaded hitting half slush lanes. Nto any more.
