This Anon is basically correct in everything they're saying. But still:

>You’re not getting through a foot of snow.
True enough. But with stupidly low tyre pressure it is actually possibly to deal with snow coverage that you couldn't handle before. 6.2" might even help more here.

>High effort and slow speed means sweating like crazy.
I'm not the wicked witch of the east; I won't melt. But yeah, from a practical standpoint you're probably better off walking. Some of us ride for fun and exercise though, and out of stubbornness to see how much we can actually deal with.

>The snow needs to be at least tamped down by vehicle tires
That's what I'm doing!

>And you wouldn’t get the benefit of running over the trail you broke on the way back as there’s no threading that needle.
I blazed the trail one way, I can do it again on the way back. Do that a few times and you'll probably start to get a ridable path. New snowfall has a tendency to undo all that work though.

>Veer off track even a little and the unpacked snow will self steer you off to the side.
This is absolutely correct and very annoying. You just have to deal with it I guess.

>But once a few walkers blaze a trail you’re good to go.
This is when a fatbike really comes into it's own.
