Default It snowing!

So I woke up today to frantic scurrying about my dorm, a foot and a half of snow had settled around the school and town, everything was closed down. While most kids went off sledding I took it upon myself to traverse the entire town whatever it took! So I brushed off and warmed up the car and after a laborious struggle managed to get out of the parking lot. I pretty much had the roads to myself, a couple trucks who gave me looks like i was crazy, guess they didnt expect a porsche to blast by in the left hand lane!

*note the pictures were taken the day before the cancellation, there is more snow on the groud right now.

Poor lil' Porsche....sooo cold.

WOW, that's much more snow than we got here in Ohio. Although most of ours is all melted off of the roadways by now.

****e man, that's the best! I was in Colerain (town about half hour outside Oxford) when it started snowing a couple weeks ago, and people were drivin all slow like, stopping off, getting stuck off by the side of the highway, trucks were about the only thing i saw too! One of my belts doesnt like condensation/cold/water/whatever and was squeaking like hell before I got up to operating temperature, that got a few looks... so did screaming down the treacherous highway. what a good day.... These cars do surprisingly well in winter weather!

That's great! With good snow tires these cars really do well in snow.

That's why I keep my 944 all warm and snug in the garage during snow!

wow...guess we do get hammered here....we got that just about every day for the last two weeks. Gets hard to shovel snow when you can't reach the top of the snowbanks any more.
