Having drove a Rubicon for 3 years that did not have part time 4wd only 2wd and 4wd high I'll just mention this as a Minnesota resident.
When you're skeptical of the weather conditions and it's wet/slushy outside just throw it into 4H and ignore 4a until the weather calms a bit. So long as you're not on dry pavement you're not going to cause any excessive wear to any of your tires with Americas straight line roads.
My Bronco will be in my hands on Saturday.. its been snowing all week here so I'll be able to do real world, real driving, real commute testing very soon and report back on the effectiveness of 4a and how well it works. If it's anything like Fords other part time selectable systems in winter I would not have high expectations at all as my 17 Gen 2 Raptor wasn't good about quickly noticing slip and it always felt safer to be in 4h.
