Burley Travoy in winter

How does the Travoy trailer fare in the snow? My impression, just looking at it, is that the entire apparatus will become a snowplow, and the little wheels will be useless. Am I wrong? I hope so. It looks like a great solution for getting groceries, but if it doesn't work in winter, it's no good. I probably do more grocery runs by bike in winter than I do in summer.

Probably depends how much snow you're talking about. Deep snow, probably not so great. Streets with a mix of slushy piles and open concrete, it would probably roll over most of that.

So take off the wheels and use it as a real travois.
