Took the MA up to the mountains for a pretty decent storm coming through. The snowfall started about 30 minutes before taking off at a rate of roughly a foot an hour. Elevation was approximately 7,000 feet and the snow was very wet.
P.S. Having all-wheel drive and mud and snow rated tires and not having to get out and put chains on is priceless

Nice flight B1. I would be nervous to fly while it's still snowing.

HAHA B1 did Arizona snow, this is Cali snow.
Last year I was a little nervous, but now I just take extra precautions to have a safe flight.

Thanks Sky! I could understand your hesitation. I think last year I let it just hover for 5 mins just to make sure  the battery wasn't having any issues in the cold.

hitting the motors?

No worries hehe.
Nope, I was more concerned with the amount of snow building up on the contoller.

Yeah, it was a pretty moisture dense system. Next system to blow through I'm going to higher ground.

@DJI Stephen
if the drone had been damaged, would DJI care cover that considering this was extreme condition?
