Loverly conditions, a bit of snow on the runway, but you are flying a taildragger, and THAT makes all the dif.

Having said which, a 152 did just fine for me in Oklahoma, but the runway, covered in light snow recently fallen, was immense. I did get stuck on the taxiway, however.

When landing a glider in tall grass or crop, one touches down at absolutely minimum speed on the top of the crop, everything then settles down nicely, and the world turns green. Same for landing in snow. Taking off, you did the right thing if you walked the runway first to check for drifts!
