Had snow this morning and descided to take it out. Snow flakes were large but not to crazy heavy. I realized right after take of it was a bad idea. It messed up all the scensors. Drifting thinking there is something infront. Thried to land from about 4 feet and pressed hard down and scensors did not work due to the heavy snow and slammed hard down on landing extensions. Luckily no damage. Lesson learned.
 
A quote from DJI support "It is dangerous to fly the Mavic Pro in snowy conditions."

it can mess up sensors, it can get sucked into the motors, causing spin issues, the vent can suck it in and melt inside the drone. So never fly in heavy snow.

Ya. I pretty much read and saw all videos and everything and somehow this warning just flew my my head.
