If you put your tank outside for bout half an hour to let it adjust to the temparature the buildup will not be that bad. Only thing you have to watch for is the buildup in your running gear such as the idler.

I would just suggest making sure there aren't any gaps in the hull, you don't want to plow through some snow, to find that the melt fries a board after seeping through a gap... Easy way to check, is to stick a small light source inside, turn the light on, close the tank up, and have a look at it in a dark room/cupboard to survive for any patches of light.

Hi

The sprockets are the favourite place for snow build up.

If you are not living on the edge, then you are taking up too much room.
