Hi Johnf
Same here Mate run OK until I hit a bit of high snow then would not move when I checked
the snow was jamming the wheels took inside give it a blow off with the air drier it run OK then.

I couldnt resist taking the Tiger out on Monday but the snow was fresh packable snow and after about 4m of travel we were as stuck as Army Group North at Lenningrad. (snow packed hard into tracks where idlers run) Tuesday was iced snow and everything went well till fuel ran out (pleased with the 3:1 boxes) Heres a pic from Tuesday
I also made a little video

Still waiting for the snow down here, though when it snowed back in Feb it was everywhere but here!!! I saw a satelite image of UK and all was white apart from Plymouth!

Hope its different this time! (Nice pics guys!!)
