what happens during the snow season when it would be covered ?

It work fine, a little snow means nothing to it. Just make sure you bury it in ground before the snow or your snow thrower will eat it up like I did with mine! $60 shredded to snow dust!!!

On the sensors I've put in the ground they seem to work fine in the snow. The transmitting part of the unit is mounted above ground, like on a fence post. On my personal ones (I use two) the sensors are mounted on the fences down low while the transmitters are mounted high. You can always adjust the sensitivity of the sensor. Highly recommended system.... especially if 911 is an hour away!

I have had my mighty mule covered in snow several times with no problems. This is the best driveway alert system I've ever owned... and I've owned several.

I have mine on a tree at the end of the drive. I think if it's covered, you will have a weak signal or none at all

I have mine extended on a pole (about four feet high) to keep it above the snow.

Take the cover off. It's meant to be a buffer against the weather/birds/leaves etc. Also a very good winter cover if you live in the northern environ.

Sorry I can't answer. I haven't put it together being that my area has been getting hit with snow storm after snow storm. Waiting for warmer weather

It looks like it could withstand an occasional rain or light snow storm. I wouldn't let it sit outside the whole summer without protection, nor let snow pile up around it. Nonetheless, this is just my speculation as I've never had opportunity for it to get rained or snowed upon.

I keep the furniture out all year. The covers stood up well through a very cold and snowy winter here. They are folded and put away for next winter.

The supports are close together so the snow should not be a problem. The first ShelterLogic I had lasted for 5 years then started getting holes in it.

I've used mine for two snow seasons now and have not had that happen. If you can still return I'd do so.

I wouldn't think you would need to cover it unless there is alot of water running right into it. The winter covers are to keep more to keep the cold weather from coming through the unit and when you aren't using it for prolonged periods. Under regular conditions I would say no, and definitely not while in use.

Hi..unfortunately I just purchased this and have not had our winter as of yet. I would not feel comfortable assuming how it will do.

Sorry..............I don't know because we haven't unpacked it yet. We live in northern Ontario and still have a couple of feet of snow so it will be awhile yet.

I am not sure yet since this will be the first winter that we have it installed. We put a hood around it on the outside with a side exit so that it would not be subjected to direct rain or snow. We also hope that it will eliminate any drafts that might occur.

We have only had our mats in place for around 2 months. I can't tell yet but with all the snow we have had, this winter will be a good test.

We covered out camper last fall here in Vermont and parked it. My husband has gone and checked on it a few times and says the cover had held up great. We have just had one of the worst winters here in a very long time.

Yes. Ours was left outside with cover thru brutal northeast winter and it held up beautifully.

You will be pushing the snow in reverse. When you go forward, the plow tilts down and it will travel over the snow.

Snow might land on top of it, but that would not interfere with the operation. I live in Detroit and we're near record snowfall this winter, but this unit is performing like a champ.

Absolutely not. We leave it out uncovered all winter and that would be a Chicago winter
