How well does it handle heavy snow?

Not very well, last year with a few storms it did well enough, but with heavier and taller then 6 inches it will work then shut off from over heating

we just had over 10 inches and it did ok. Where we had the drifts I had to use my bigwalk behind but otherwise it did good. Also where the snowplow went through on the main road I had to use my big walk behind. But my big walk behind had all it could do to go thru it.

it obviously is not as strong as a medium priced gas snow blower. most problems are associated with it's low profile in a snow over 12" deep and it struggles in wet snow. however it got me through winter of 2013 and was a great improvement after shoveling by hand. didn't have any overheating problems. a good machine over all.

For an electric snowthrower it does very well. It's a very strong tool. You merely have to adjust your speed to the density of the snow.

It is a big machine, very heavy, but it is pretty easy to drive.I have not used it in snow yet so can't say how that would be.

Yes. It has been used in fairly heavy rain and snow. As long as the rain fly is used it holds up well.

It's fine on ice, but is pretty difficult to push through snow. Kind of like trying to maneuver a shopping cart through slush.

Mine held up to a rough Michigan winter. You're supposed to knock off excess snow throughout the season but I only did that if it was more than about 4 inches at a time

yes, it is a powerful machine. i used it last year on about a foot of snow, cleared it with ease. great machine for the price.

We haven't had any snow yet so that I can't fully answer, but it has held up really well against the couple of storms we have had lately. There have been at least three high wind/hard rain storms and it has held up great on the side of our house.

Works great for snow, frost, sap from trees. I have not had any problems with it. 1500 Dodge Pick-up.

The cold I can speak too, but the snow only to a certain degree... The unit has managed fine in sub zero temps, and due to the completely insane weather in the NE this winter it has managed well during temperature swings of 40+ degrees on a day to day basis.We've only gotten a maximum of about 6 to 8 inches of snow and its handled that fine. The slope of the lid helps a bit as well. Not sure about 2 feet...

We just got ours 2 weeks ago, but were very pleased with how sturdy it is, I think it will hold up for years to come. And yes I think it would handle the snow no problem. It's also very spacious for a 2 to 4 bird coop, we are very impressed with the house.

While it can withstand snow, as it melts it will go right through. I keep mine on all year as it keeps away most spring to fall debris and add a winter cover on top of it. I love this cover.. great purchase.

It does ok in 3" of snow on 4 wheels. I have not hauled anything heavy in grass, but moderate weight it is not to bad it move fairly well in the upright position haven't hauled anything on all 4 wheels.

I don't use it in the rain so I can't answer how it would hold up. Works fine in cold weather.

Mine has held up well in NW corner of NJ. We had below zero weather snow, ice and rain and it did OK.

It is great on about 5 inches as I've tried it last winter. As long as it is powdery and not the icy sticky kind of snow.

It does really well, especially with the front wheel in the fixed position. However, BOB rocks in the snow and slush.

I live in upstate NY and have used this so far 2 times in snows greater than 6". I have yet to have a problem. Yes it does bog down in the wetter snow types and I am sure it wont throw it as far but it beats it doing it by hand. I can cover an old 100' driveway single wide in less than 20 mins. I can not adjust the depth other then paying attention to the angle I hold the handle. The real thick snow pushed there by plows at the end of my driveway did challenge this thing but slow and steady and you'll slice on through. The up side to this over the gas type is no maintenance, no up keep, not as heavy and a lot less $$$ I live in upstate NY and have used this so far 2 times in snows greater than 6".
