The "wrong type of snow" was when we got dry powdery snoe instead of
the usual wet slushy stuff. There was a new class of train on Network
South East that was vulnerable to the dry stuff getting into the
motors.

The problem down here is with the Cross Country, ex Virgin, rolling
stock when they have the wrong kind of water on the line. In  this
case salt water at Dawlish.
