Got to use the drone for the 1st time while blowing snow, since it NEVER snows on weekends for me. But I was losing daylight quick.

That's great! Are you operating the tractor and the drone at the same time?

I did just minor adjustments while stopped with the tractor. Else it just hoovered there for the most part.

You're fast! immediately after posting the question I went back to the video and seen in the description that you were using the Air 2, so I edited my post to delete that question. But you answered before the edit took effect.
I've got a Mini 2 and I'm afraid to fly when it is snowing, yet I see all kinds of videos where people are flying them in much colder temps than what the specs state are acceptable. Does your Air 2 have "Follow Me" mode?

Your movements are smooth. It looks like you are still happy with your purchase. (your neighbors must be happy too)

My "neighbors" are all wife's relatives, we live on the same ranch. So 1/4 mile driveway and six houses. The inverted blower makes this job extremely quick, and with an HST it's a breeze.

It does, but IF mother nature will ever let it snow during the weekend in the daylight. I might get enough time to play with it.You're fast! immediately after posting the question I went back to the video and seen in the description that you were using the Air 2, so I edited my post to delete that question.

I ran my air2s three times in the cold snow….
but the last time the gimbal camera froze up..
Landed just fine, but camera froze. Now i wont fly it when its 15° out again.
