Super cold temps on East Coast, does your car act weird or creak?

Every car I've had, with living in PA, when temps go below 15, weird things happen. Just wondering if anyone with a w222 has noticed any creaks or odd noises. Here it's been about 9 degree's the past few days!

So cold this happens:

Something strange happens to all my cars in these temps, even the RR is not a fan. I love in PA as well, and things are normally not this brutal around here. The Range Rover (with Nokian Tires) and my dogs grand Cherokee are the only cars that come out when it gets like this.

funny I have a 17 S550 and the wife has a 17 RR LWB. Drove the RR for the first time in the snow and was not impressed at all. Beyond disappointed with how it handled in auto mode. I put it in snow mode and it didn’t slightly better but the truck was way to slippery and all over the place.

When I bought my RR I wanted a certain color combination which they found for me (it happen to have every option available on it), but it came with those ridiculous 22" wheel with worthless in the snow all season tires. Since my car only is used in the winter (comes out of storage in Nov goes back in March), I need to actually work in the snow. So I bought 5 20" wheels and 5 Nokian Snow tires and it goes through anything with ease. Not sure what idiot at LR thought putting 22" tires on a SUV that needed to move in the snow was a good idea.
