Flying in snow, through a winter wonderland

[Ian in London]

Well, I too threw my Mavic up into the snow over Southern England last weekend. Heaviest fall for a few years.
Tried flying with the plastic dome on first, but the video was very poor and blurred due to the snow flakes hitting the dome.
So I bit the bullet and flew it without the dome, figuring as it was still -1'c or 30'f, there wouldn't be much moisture that would actually end up inside from snow hitting it.

And who doesn't like a mix of dogs, forward & reverse flying and straight down views...?

Cheers
Ian

Wow. Love the church in the snow, very picturesque. Doggies seemed to be having fun. Up here in my part of the North of England we hardly had any snow, usually we get the lot. So thanks for sharing this lovely video. Best wishes for Christmas and happy new year to you, all other Mavic pilots and all those close to your hearts.
