Yes, where I live snow is not common, but when we do get it, the side roads are scary bad until you get to the interstate which is usually fine. So I'll take the truck to work 2-3x a winter, using 4x4 to get from my driveway to the freeway where I shift into 2 high. No good reason to leave it in 4x4 unless you absolutely need to (I have part-time of course).
