Plenty of opportunity over the last few days to try out the BFG KO2 tyres. I would rate them as 6 or 7 out of 10 against a dedicated winter tyre. I certainly wouldn't worry about getting stuck, but they do lack that "velcro" feel that you get with a full winter. I deliberately initiated a few lock ups and they do slide a bit more than I'd like. The heavy tread also digs a bit too much on rutted snow and can pull the vehicle into the verge. I think I'll move to the Bridgestone Duelers ( thanks again BVT) for summer use and next winter try some Blizzaks.

I’m finding my Goodyear WRANGLER Duratrac excellent in the snow slush and the black bits in between. Very grippy.
BTW , mine came with the Bridgestones which I consider a summer tyre and not seriously off-road. I got the Goodyears from Costco in Westhill for £114/tyre fitted, balanced, nitrogen filled etc. less then 50% of the BFG
Was a fan on KO2 for years as they were so puncture resistant but on normal wet roads they were not inspiring on a VW Amarok nor my Isuzu before it.

I was out for a couple of hours and got a similar if slightly larger build up of snow under the drivers wiper blade. The A9 was down to one lane and there was no place to stop to clear it. As a result, the wiper now rests on the screen rather than at the top of the black. Any suggestions to fix it?

I would just gently persuade the wiper arm back into position but I suppose if you want to do it properly unbolt the arm and reposition it on the splines.
