Yup, make sure you're electronics are either waterproof or have been waterproofed and you're good to go. Be sure to take pictures!

The pic I posted above is an old one. Now, with 2.4 there's no antenna sticking up.

its a blast to run in snow. i did last winter a few times. we get lots so it was a chore trodding through 4ft to retrieve stuck savage, but for the most part it would plow right through/over it. i had to insulate head and block with rags, as it was +30 to -20 the times i ran it. didnt waterproof it, but made sure to get the snow off right away when i was done. be aware, the area around and behind the engine will fill with snow and turn to ice after a while.
