How does it do with snow?

Just bought it this summer, no experience with snow yet, but the frame is strong and it has a good pitch, snow should slide off.

The manual says it won't support heavy snows. Looking at the design, I think it would do OK with a light snow load. I doubt seriously it could take a heavy wet load. I've only had mine a few months, and I live near the ocean in VA which rarely has heavy snows, but, I would suggest a heavier duty model for northern tier states.

We have not had any significant snow since we have had the canopy. We have had it for almost 2 years now and is still doing great. Withstands strong winds very well.

Mine just collapsed last night, bringing the sides on the kennel down with it. Two panels have to be replaced now and a new roof has to be purchased. We had 6 inches of snow and another inch of ice on top. I didn't expect it to hold up.

Well it doesn't snow a lot here but when it does, it holds up very well. I've had absolutely no problems with mine. No regrets making this purchase.

It's up year round here, but no snow. It handles wind with no issue. But I don't think I'd leave it up for snow.

Don't know, no snow here but it worked on the bottom of a riding mower deck reducing grass and mud sticking, much easier to clean.

I'd say yes..once you get the handle turning. You do have to hold it down with. Your other hand. It does make very good snow, for a great price.

Only have had it a few months but has survived sub-zero weather, snow, ice, rain. wind. No problems thus far.

I have had it now for quite some time up at a campground set up permanently. I do not keep my eye on it continuously but feel like it would be okay unless it can build up of snow, ice and more snow and ice. It has not happened yet.

I live in Texas so I don't see much snow and I have not used it in wet weather but it would be fine as long as you use mineral oil after it gets wet.

The cord is sometimes a hassle but if you hold it then fling it in the direction you want it to go it's not too bad. Bigger issue is when it gets caught up on snow/ice but does not happen too often. For the price it's great and I agree, the gas ones are pricey. We got about two feet this past week and it had no problem moving powder or wet snow. It doesn't like the heavy chunks of ice that the snowplow throws on the driveway but it'll still throw them, just takes it a bit. All in all I'm happy with it and it's great not smelling like unfiltered exhaust when you're done. Pretty quite too. Good luck!

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

We have only had powdery snow so far, but my husband loves it. Watch demo videos on You-Tube to get an idea of how it works.

It shaves it fine like snow. It is a great little machine. Got it for may granddaughter for Christmas, now everyone in the family enjoys it.

Mine has done well in rain and snow. bought a second one for the walkway. Both are hung on garden stakes so no protection from the elements.

No problems with snow getting stuck for me, but I've been fortunate so far since receiving the blower with only powdery snow. I've not had to deal with wet packed snow, but would not expect it to have the ability to move heavy, wet snow very well.

Have not used it in snow yet. I anticipate that it will work fine as long as the snow is not really deep.

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.

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...

no. the foamlike snow just dries up after awhile. My kids had fun at Christmas playing with this "snow". The gathered it up and pretended to throw snowballs at each other. It is very dry, did not even make the sidewalk wet. You will love it.
