Yea man, i'm in the northern VA area and my baby is under its cover til all this crap passes! To date, our area has had 63 inches of snow this winter, that equals no mustang driving!!

Cusp

Thinking about what could be happening....
Pinion gear turns the ring gear which is attached to the carrier. The carrier pushes the spider gears around the axle gears. The axles only move together when the resistance is the same on both. Other wise the axle offering the least resistance moves while the spiders just turn around the axle which has more. Add friction packs. They serve to equalize the resistance between the two axles up to the slipping torque of those clutches. This will force both axles to turn together with some torque but not all available because the clutches slip. So as long as the two axles have similar resistance within the limits of the clutches they move as one. If one wheel has traction and the other has close to none, the wheel with traction is limited in torque to that of the clutch pack. Once the imbalance exceeds the friction limits the remainder of the torque simply spins out the easy side.
So what to do? Increase the friction limits of the clutch packs is one. But get it to tight and you feel and hear it around corners as is the locker type.
One trick for getting going in the slippery is to use the hand brake. That will add some resistance to both sides. key here is that the side with less traction will be harder to turn as well and the extra torque needed to turn it past the brake is also available to the side with traction plus the extra the LS clutch gives it.
