Ballet of idiots - diff lock

Well we got the first snow of the year today.  How many owners of 
performance cars look out at the snow and smile?  I was not smiling for 
long.  On my way home I witnessed some of the worst driving I have ever 
seen.  Of course ever hill had people stuck half way up it.  People were 
swerving into oncoming traffic to get around these stopped cars.  Heaven 
forbid they loose their head of steam.  Then these same people were 
tailgating down hills.  I would not be a happy camper if someone wacked 
my car after I just spent all that time swaping a turbo into it.

I think because my tires are a little worn the driving was a little 
tricky.  I ended up having my center diff locked the whole way home.  
Here is the problem.  It would randomly come unlocked and then a few 
seconds later relock.  This make things a little tricky since when the 
road is really slick.  It seemed to do it more when not climbing a hill 
thankfully.  I have not had problems before, but I don't use it very often.

Any thoughts?
