I hate this time of the year...
It is very stressful for me...
Trying to find a clear day and gingerly driving the beast round the block just to keep her moving.
It's the salt on the roads that I hate the most!
I make sure I pick a dry day (every 3 weeks or so) where the roads are just alittle damp so that ground-up salt stays bonded to the road and doesn't blow up around the car as I drive.
I take her round the block and then tuck it away in the garage again.
I really do hate this time of year.

At least 2-3 inches of snow on the ground here in VA. My BS is warm under a cover in the garage but, I had to dig my E550 out. Luckily it was powder and didn't take too long. As a former native SoCal resident who visits often on business I still prefer it here though. JMHO.

If you live in Chicago long enough, you don't complain about the weather. My BS will be in lock-down, but with snows on the 996tt, driving is still good, especially in our tiny town that has just the right amount of snow for a little 'slippage". AS

AS, don't you live just over the border from Chi in IN? Why don't you post up a pic, I hear you guys got 18 inches of lake effect Sunday and Monday, make our "dusting" here today look like a walk in the park.

I live in the tiny town of Dune Acres, right at the bottom of the lake. Unlike our neighbor to the southeast, Laporte, we didn't get deep snow, but got an incredible north-to-south wind at 50 mph that created 25 foot waves and washed away 15-40 feet of sand dunes. When the news reported 18 inches, we had barely 2 inches on the ground, with peculiar pointed drifts in parallel lines across the drive. Laporte is in a unique precipitation belt, and gets about 6 more inches of precipitation annually than towns slightly west. AS
