Default "Weird" rear wheel action in rain on hill

Rainy weather heads up to the unknowing (but I know most of you are in the know) - On I 81 going up a hill and it just started to rain. Rear end started to feel "weird" - wheels were catching "alternatively" - pulled over to see if I had a flat - as trucks rushed by in the rain my tire inspection = no problem. Conclusion - limited slip differential at work on hill with the slight road oil slick that you get when it first starts to rain on a road with heavy truck traffic.

Yes it was a strange feeling but not as strange as it would have been if I did a 180 with my head out in the rain checking my tires
