Warm Batteries! Dont let them get cold before flight. Fly up in altitude and hover to let the battery get even a bit warmer. Then observe battery percentage carefully as the cold weather depletes batteries faster. Perhaps return home well before 15 % failsafe just to have a margin of safety.

I also recommend to be aware that the sun and the snow can make the obstacle avoidance sensors a little crazy. In these conditions when you flight towars the sun or a massive sun reflection on ice the drone dosent move faster than 1 or 2 kph, (in this video, one of those shots is right towards the end of the video when its coming back towars a road and you can see the sun teflect on snow and ice). When this happens just turn off the front sensor or simply go in sports mode to take the drone to your next waypoint.

Nd64 filter??

no. forgot my filter pack at home so i had to do my best with the ND16 which was on the drone and tweaking in post.
I think a ND32 would have been enough

Nice video, but yes I could tell you used a filter as you would have had whiteout otherwise; nice work!
