Air 1 Lake Effect Snow Storm!

[shawnski451]

We had a pretty significant lake effect snow event yesterday (12/31/25) here in West Seneca NY. I decided to put my "old reliable" Mavic Air (2018) in the air and let it take a rip around my neighborhood. I wrote a Litchi way point program on my computer... Speed 15mph at 150ft altitude. I shot at 2.7k@60fps. The reason I shot at 2.7k@60 is that its visually smoother to watch vs 4k@30. I hope you all enjoy this.

I see the snow totals you folks get out that way and can't believe what it's like get multiple feet of snow all the time. It's bad enough for me here near Saratoga...but then, I am becoming a cranky old guy, LOL. Nice footage, the Air seemed to handle the wind just fine.

Its amazing that the falling snow didn't effect the drones motors.
Was your drone "water proofed"?.

I would have been afraid to take a drone up in that snow.
Looks like it was a little chilly.
