Thoughts?  Insights?

I’m pretty sure that’s major snowfall. I can’t imagine an LRV having trouble with less than 20cm of fluffy snow.

It just occurred to me there might be more of an issue with freezing rain on the overhead when that occurs. I can imagine a real need to keep the vehicles operating all the time in those conditions.
