To be safest, I would plug the cord end of this into a "GFCI" rated outlet. In this way snow and rain could pose no real threat or danger.

California no snow but rain didn't seem s problem. It is somewhat protected from weather but not entirely.

I use mine outdoors where it does get rain on and it works just fine. I live in Houston, so I don't know how it would do with snow.

We live in MN and have had this product for about a year. It has been in use year round, and subjected to driving rain, freezing rain and snow. It is currently being used on our outdoor Christmas tree lights.

this has been in our yard exposed to the elements for more than a year and continues to function. we are on the west coast so no exposure to snow.

I live in Florida so I can't respond to snow, but mine gets rained on and twice a week the sprinkler sends water at it and around it. I have not had a problem with it.

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.

No, It is water resistant as it has a coating on the top and seems to hold up to our snow but I would not call it water proof. Very solid.

Yes it is Weather Resistant, which means it has a gasket to prevent moisture from creating problems, however I would not let it get buried under snow while running.

I am not sure if the Temperature during winter will affect the unit. And ofcourse, this unit must be protect from rain and snow. I do not think it is a reliable device to be used outside.

I'm pretty sure you could. We had it out in the snow last year and the rain this spring and summer - no problems.

I have yet to use it in the snow. As I bought it after the season. But I can tell you that it does excellent on damp wet muddy grass.

Yes, it can be left outdoors in the rain, but we like to bring it indoors if we're expecting very heavy rain, just to be safe. I wouldn't leave it out in the winter if your area gets cold and snowy.

Yes I have used mine in the rain and in the snow but cold affects battery life

I've used mine in all kinds of weather. Snow, drizzle, cold temps. I however do take precautions. Especially with rain and wet snow. Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you.

If it is a last resort then yes. I would not purposely use this in a blizzard or snow.

I have not tried snow , but I have hilly terrain so I mounted tires and put 3 gal liquid in each tire with 10 lb air and it does great. I think they will do good in snow. good luck BILL WARD.

snow won't hurt it, but it a mesh screen-like material, so rain and snow would go right thru it!

I leave mine up all year in rain and snow and have no problems. I also purchased the connector cover.

Yes. It has been used in fairly heavy rain and snow. As long as the rain fly is used it holds up well.

we have only used in on plowed areas. It would fare well in deep snow. At least the two small front tires wouldn't.

I don't have experience with the snow, but mine is adequate for the rain. I am pleased with this product so far and consider it a small investment to protect my mower.
