I ended up with about 700 pics total, 200 of which where a snow storm, but the cam was still taking pics when I went out and checked it in april, though looking through the pics you could see where it stopped taking night pics in dec and missed a lot of action. For instance you would see tons of fresh track in the fresh snow but it didnt take until the daytime. Must have been to cold for the weak batts to activate but still happy with the results.
