My High School had this stuff on the field. It never snowed where I lived but it handled al other types of weather conditions very well. I played soccer on it. It was very easy on the knees you could wear longer cleats or shorter ones and it wouldn't matter. Both of them would grip the turf well but not cause knee problems. It is soft to land on. The field was always perfect. The only thing I wonder about is how hard the field will get when it gets below zero. Then again I can't see it being harder than the turf the Bills have now.
