Horses in the snow? As long as their legs are longer than the majority of the power you can go through it... if you get powder taller than them then you have to go round it, or plow a path with the tractor.
Here's the tunnel I dug into the other side of that barn...

lol - that tunnel is about 3'6 - 4' tall... with snow over it that's about 3-4 deep... one of the warmest, and safest spots to be in a snow storm...
We used to camp in them when I was little. That tunnel was fine for almost a week... beyond that the weight of the ceiling compressed the snow so much that the height of the tunnel was down to 2'.There certainly are some safety things to consider when digging a tunnel - the first is not to let the ceiling get too thick, and the second is not to let the ceiling get to thin.

Tomorrow it will be the first trip this year by motorcyle 
. It is almost 10 deg C hereand I'm keen to get some referencesby the ****-dynofor the new Akra system, before aported head andStage 1cams are installed. This will be an extremly early start of the season. I have also booked a couple of days on the Nurburg Ring in the middle of May.
