Yuow will find as you drive the snow will start to form around
the cables. The worst that I have had happen is the throttle and
emergancy  brake cable have problems. Clumps of snow end up
hanging from the throttle causing it to stay on, and the emergency
brake may stick on. My solution is to grease up the cables real
well. I intend someday to relocate the throttle higher, just on the
bottom of the floor, but have not had a chance to do this.
