I have been running on hard packed snow for a couple of times, up to 10 km. There is certainly less grip especially when running fast, which I have to admit, I seldom do. On the other hand there are certain advantages. It allows me to run on tacks with less enjoyable ground, like gravel. The surface is more even and less bumpy. But the best thing is that it attracts less dirt to my soles, which makes them easier to clean afterwards and of course you get an immediate visual feedback when losing blood. (I did follow a blood trail today, but it wasn't mine.)
My two blisters from two weeks ago, turned white after a couple of days and I could run on the next weekend, which was in dry conditions. Today I ran on hard packed snow in close to zero degree Celsius temperatures, which made it more pleasant than the -9 °C two weeks before. I had put my old mobile phone in the left shoe, the right one was still carrying my keys. It took some courage, but I finally asked someone to take a picture of me. I also did some pictures of the beautiful scenery. It is a really crappy low resolution camera but at least the mobile fits in the folded Feelmax like shoes.
Here I am in front of the larger, longish lake. (perimeter 5.5 km)
