Having an electric motor really helps. It's not too bad riding in untracked snow up to 6" deep but unevenly compacted snow is difficult. I had to walk across that bridge because it was a mix of old snow and new.
I guess the motor would help but there must be a lot of pedal power too. 6" that surprises me, I though it would make quite a difference. Yah, I get about unevenly compacted, I've been dealing with that here, walking is hard and pushing a loaded wheelbarrow is sometimes quite exciting.
Thanks for sharing your photos, I love seeing your bike in them too.

I don't think they got 60cm of snow. Something isn't right.
Yeah the report of 60 cm seems a bit off based on the pictures. But makes good media hype. In all fairness, even 15-30 cm was a very good score given the fact that the forecast was for maybe 5-10 cm at most.

I’m sure there was lots of melting and compacting because that doesn’t look like 2ft to me. Especially on the roof tops in behind.

Down to -0.7C here. Clear skies, calm winds and Fresh snowcover will most likely aid in producing some impressive mins for some areas tonight.
