today, the snow has gone away :( , she is only in the north of France and in UK.

The BF goodrich are good tyres in fresh snow, but juste after the snowplow, when the snow is packed, they slide a lot :S

Yes i find that, fresh snow they do seem very good but as with most offroad tyres i think on hard compact snow they do seem a little sketchy.

Never driven the jimny in snow on standard bridgestone duelers so dont know what they are like otherwise?

My mothers Jimny has standard bridgestone duelers and it handles great in both the snow and ice, but I think our nobbly off road tyres are much better in the fresh snow and tend to slide a bit on the compacted snow/ice.
