I live in snow country and can get over a foot of snow overnight. How well does this hold up in this type of environment?

Living in Wisconsin, this was also a concern I had initially. However, the TruXedo product is well designed. There are two aluminum cross members built in to this cover, adding nice rigidity. I don't think I would buy a cover without these extra supports. And these supports are slim enough that rolling up the cover is also not an issue.

I live in the south and have mine on a Honda 14 model for about 6 months now. Was real happy at the ease of installation and durability. I routinely put stuff on the top as I am unloading the back of my truck and think it would probably do OK with a snow load provided it wasn't the real heavy wet snow like we get in the south.

I have only had a couple of inches on the cover and it was fine. The specs on the cover states that it can hold up to 300 lbs.

Personally, unsure because I live in the south which typically does not receive much snow. Also, my truck remains in the garage unless it is be drove. Sorry I cannot help. Best...

No problem! We got more than that several times this year and it held up fine.

This is my second winter using it and I love the thing. As far as I'm concerned it was worth the price. I haven't had any issues with mine.

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.

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

I am from Texas so not much use during snow/ice conditions. Sorry, maybe someone else will comment. Great in hard rain though!

Still works after heavy rain. After a couple of nights in the teens, still works great. Snow is rare in my area, so can't answer that part.

It depends. It's thick enough for some outdoor storage but I can't comment on whether it would be tough enough for harsh northern conditions. We live in Texas and it's perfect for our weather here!

It doesn't like really heavy snow, but as long as there isn't more than a foot of it, it still works. We had a storm already this year with 3 inches of dense/slushy snow...it worked...required a little more effort and had to go over some spots a couple times. I like this snowblower...it has freed me from having to get tune-ups, fill up oil and gas, etc. With this thing, I just pull it out of the shed and plug it in. Of course it's a little lightweight, isn't really good for more than a foot of snow.Oh and as someone else mentioned...this one is not particularly good at snow banks or clearing out the mailbox. The big ice chunks in the road still require a shovel. It doesn't like really heavy snow, but as long as there isn't more than a foot of it, it still works.

it lasted about a year and shredded from Arizona winds. I have no idea on snow but it is not waterproof.i had it mainly to keep sun off, it did that for a while, now junk.

We haven't had it through the winter yet but it has held up well during lots of pretty heavy rain storms and wind. It's fairly heavy so I'm really not too concerned about the snow. I certainly plan on leaving it out and we live in Ohio. I'm very satisfied with this. Just be careful you order the right size - there are two sizes and I didn't notice it the 1st time I ordered.

It's held up well with a 12 & 10 year old making snow cones for friends & family these last several months. Of course at this price it's not a professional model but it's been durable so far. I'd buy another one.

We only have the shovel for a few months. We used it through 3 snow storms. So far, it seems to be holding up pretty well. It has not chipped.

It's very comfortable in cold weather and holds up to wind and snow very well. I use a Mr Heater inside and it's quite toasty. Awesome tent.

My girlfriend uses it with no issues. It is more the amount of snow you have to deal with. I find that it can handle about four or five inches. If you have more snow on the ground you have to work in layers

I bought a Snow Joe 622U1 in 2011. I was impressed. I live in NE Missouri and do get snow, heavy and wet at times, and use it about 5 -8 times a season Not like a big, gas one, but it beats shoveling.. No problems until tonight (feb, 2014, 4th time this season.). I hit a chunk of ice and it broke a belt. I got my money's worth.

I have these on a 2wd truck and we only get snow 2 or 3 days a year where I live. I was at work once when it started to snow and using cable chains on the back I was able to get home by the time it was 1" deep. On my trip I stopped at the grocery store (which wasn't out of the way at all) and bought milk and bread and some canned items (the canned items were in case the power went out). I was able to get into and out of the grocery store parking lot with minimal trouble even though it has a slight hill. My next truck will be four wheel drive.

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.
