Is my 4WD working?

Hello. I am new to this board, and to the truck.

When we got snow last week, I parked the truck in front of the house.
The front passenger side tires were on top of a little mound of snow/ice that I shoveled earlier and the passenger side rear tires were on some snow too, but not as much as the fronts. The driver's side (front and rear) were on dry pavement.

I didn't think much of it and just left it there. Later that day, I switched it to 4WD-Hi and decided to move the car. No dice.
I asked my wife to see if all the tires were spinning, and she said that only the rear tire (passenger) was spinning.

She did not look at the other side though.

Does this mean my 4WD is not working? Or is it doing this because maybe it has open differentials?

If the rear driver's side tire (on dry pavement) was spinning, the truck should have at least moved a little, but that did not happen.


Thanks.
