Winter in Michigan seems to last forever...especially when there's more than about 4" and you can't drive through it. I've always used these weeks to do some mods or work on house projects.
This morning I woke up to 10-12" of fresh snow. After clearing the snow from my driveway it was RZR TIME!
The skidplate was dragging on the snow & the front was scooping up its share (could use more ground clearance...) but this didn't seem to slow me down one bit.
Things don't look too good for those unfinished projects this winter... 
Also took a short video with my camera:

Looks like fun Mark, I was half tempted to take my
Joyner out for a few donuts in the road, after I
snow-blowed the driveway. I think I'm going to get a
Rzr by the next buggy-bash, I love the 4W-drive.

Thats right Mark, the snow is great. I take out my Polaris 700 in the snow a lot. You should get a plow for your RZR, now that is fun...

Sounds like your ready to keep that RZR around for a while
You'll need to get yourself a pair of gloves....

Now that I'm temporarily buggiless the best I could do was saddle up on the John Deere riding mower and cut the lawn. It was 60degrees and sunny today.

I don't know anything about the RZR's so this might be a dumb question.
Will the RZR go through more snow/mud then a good size 4x4 quad?

Probably about the same. The power & weight of the Rzr might help it but on a quad you can somewhat offset the limited ground clearance by rocking your weight side-to-side.
