Well, that's one 'cool' way of clearing the lawn of snowfall, and averting the risk of a major avolanche from the stump of doom! 😂 The faithful Blitzer handled the torrid conditions with ease despite being only 2wd. We just don't seem to get snow like we used to do we? I seem to remember we had it nearly every winter back in the eighties, and one year the whole village got blocked in with 6ft snow drifts.... 1986? Great fun as a ten year old, no school, and a week to build sledges out of wood, build snowmen, and roll huge snow boulders around the local play park until they got too big and heavy to push any further (they used to pick up everything in their path, including the local dog crap!) Iglues and snowball fights..... which of course would probably be banned these days, condemned by health and safety legislation, and I'm guessing sledging would now require a cycle helmet by law! 😂 All we seem to get now is rain, lots and lots of rain! Anyway, hope the chief survived this beast from the east..... and hope he remembered to dry out and wd40 his bearings and hardware afterwards! 😂 -👍 👍 👍

I think I remember that year but I was a bit younger, I seem to recall icicles actually hanging from the roof, when did you last see that in the uk! I’m not one for global warming doom and gloom, but I’d like a load of snow, just so I can stay at home all day. We did have some deep snow a few years ago and Mrs RC So & So was away with her family, so I just stayed at home enjoying being cut off from the world 🤣😂👍

[@RCBirds]

Yeah, the good old winters. I miss the snow, too. Great you had some.

[@RCsoandso]

I don’t mind heavy snow when I don’t have to go anywhere, it’s just when it’s really heavy is usually at the wrong time 🙄👍

[@RCBirds]

@@RCsoandso spunds familiar

[@theoagrc]

Glad that snow didn’t stop the fun!! Scale wise that is a day off school snow covering for sure 😁

[@RCsoandso]

Schools around here had a day off and all we got is rain! I remember trudging through snow when I was a kid. They have all gone far too soft🙄😂👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

Well I am hoping that the Chief Engineer is safe and was able to dig out from the big storm! I am sure hitting the stump over and over was due to the snow blindness as well! Joking aside it is always fun to get out and play in the snow for a bit even it is only a little bit!!

[@RCsoandso]

It was more a dusting, it’s been poor for snow this year, glad I didn’t buy anything with tracks for it as I’d be a bit disappointed now 🤔😂👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

@@RCsoandso it took a year and a half for me to get some to be able to drive my Blizzard in. I just tucked in the corner and tried not to think about it! 😂

[@PeteWylieRC]

Ooh the conditions did look far too treacherous to be going outside. You boys were very brave to go out and make this video. Great stuff guys 😁👍

[@RCsoandso]

Wrapped up warm with plenty of hot drinks needed 🤣😂👍

[@All_RC_Fun]

We get a little bit of snow about every three years. Definitely got a bit more than that dusting. Nice run about kicking up the dusty snow.

[@RCsoandso]

I would say we are due a year of big snow, but forecasting seems guess work 🤣😂👍

[@RFVCXR200R]

I wish we'd only get that much snow in Iowa. That's like the perfect amount of snow to drive an RC in.

[@RCsoandso]

I didn’t realise you get much snow there. Slipknot haven’t done many songs around frolicking in the snow 🤔👍❄️

[@RFVCXR200R]

@@RCsoandso ALL their songs are about snow. Why do your think they're so angry? 😆

[@RCsoandso]

Maybe that’s why it sounds like a snow plough on it’s last legs 🤔

[@RFVCXR200R]

@@RCsoandso hahaha saw one in the ditch after we got a dump of about 2 feet of snow in January.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I wish we’d get some more snow. I finally own my own snowmobile after 40 years of riding my brothers. Of course that means we won’t get anymore this year

[@RCsoandso]

Best way to guarantee no snow that 🤣😂👍

[@davidtucker1155]

I just got a lunchbox kit and I’m SOOOO excited to build it! Thanks for showing me tamiya in the first place. Also I don’t get snow where I live :(

[@RCsoandso]

My Lunchbox was my first build, it was great, especially the first time it runs inside the house ‘for testing’. As much as snow is annoying I think I’d miss it if we didn’t get any 🤔👍

[@captainchaos3053]

In my part of the UK heading out on the pi..... oh sorry I seam to have misheard. You mentioned ski slope, I was going to say its quite normal, we're I live ya know heading out on the piste 😉 is like the second most popular thing to do after fish an chips. Then there is this new name kids have for walking their pets. Well I still call it going for a walk, but I hear young ones calling it something different. Apparently there are really busy spots for it too. Mind you you never hear of them on the news but they seem to find lots of stiffs. Who knew so many people died outdoors!

[@RCsoandso]

Is that mainly with dogs 🤣 can’t beat a good fish and chips but since beef dripping is now frowned upon it’s all a bit greasy 🤔👍

[@simonbodill]

I would quite happily trade my TT02 for one of these 😊

[@RCsoandso]

As great as the Blitzer is, I would suggest having both this and the TT02 🤣😂👍

[@simonbodill]

Well there’s an excuse for getting one 😂

[@RCsoandso]

👍

[@highrollerdecorators8059]

We got a little tickle of it Thursday the mighty mini had to put in a shift to get us home I spent my snow eve in the kitchen fettling my drift car as the highlift wasn't behaving wanted to capture a snowy snap it just didn't happen 😅

[@RCsoandso]

They shut all the schools round here and it just rained, typical council overreacting 🙄😂👍
