Does it actually drive well on snow? I've never built anything with LEGO using motors. Looks great. The suspension is a nice touch.

At the end I was thinking... Jar Jar didn't get hurt. And then it happened.

Thank you. It drives ok on very shallow snow like 1/8 of an inch. In deep snow, it tends to get stuck and spins its wheels. Those aren't deep treaded soft rubber compound winter snow tires.

Looks like you'll need snow tires in the northeast USA with that crazy snow storm.
