Lots of puzzled looks at the table, some back and forth in Swedish, when they smiled and said:



So it really is all about what you are accustom to, and prepared for -- be safe and good luck.

Depth of snow is a poor guide to the effect of snow. Powder snow, at -10 C is much different from the sloppy, mucky, icy slush that falls when temperatures are near zero.

The challenge isn't snow... it's safety, and that is mostly based on friction.
