I spent Easter in the Peak District where there was a bit of a snow blizzard.
I took my M8 out in howling snow one morning. It got kind of covered and I panicked a bit as the snow melted and turned to water - but I rubbed it off quickly.
Happy to report no problems. My M8 is reasonably snow shower proof.
And here is a photo it took that morning...

Meanwhile, later the same day during a walk whilst using the M8 my M2 I had brought to run a couple of films through fell out of the case I had tried to put it into and landed in the snow. Thank God it was a well made solid film camera and not a digital one.

By all accounts the fall did no damage, but I am only developing the film this week so I will have to update you later with a shot from the freezing camera.
