Well, I suppose that at this time of year, many of you are surounded by snow, and these guys decided to have a little fun with the M3A1 for a few minutes.

Thanks for finding and posting that video. I was the one who shot it. The driver is somewhere in the Pacific Ocean working on a submarine. We had just gotten a boat-load of snow a couple days before and wanted to try her out in the white stuff. We found out that even when she had the front axle engaged, it still had the tendency to snowplow when the wheels were turned instead of turning like it would on a dry surface. We had to take that in consideration when planning our turns. Makes me wonder how halftracks with track brakes handle on snow.
