UH OH Porsche + Snow in OH =BAD

Saw this on the way home from work in the Centerville area on the infamous Alex Bell hill....... hope everyone is alright and not too much damage was done.

Snow this morning then sleet then rain (now) sleet and more snow tonight is what they are saying.

Sucks to be the guy, but I've found that Porsches, when shod with good tires and drivers with a clue, do very well in the snow. I had fun with my dad's 911.

Of course, my 944, with it's well-worn Michelin Pilot MXX3 tires, does not even begin to qualify for this statement.

Based on the way the snow is sitting on it, it looks like the car may have been there for a while.

Oh no way..... It had been there awhile.... no one was in the car.... I had to turn around and go by again to get the pics... lol I dont have my camera THAT ready lol.

I was in my Jeep but I would have stopped if I had seen it happen or it had just happened.

And you cant stop on that hill to just get pics.... you see the part in front of me how it goes down and to the right the part behind me goes up and to the right so in the middle section where I am at in the pics if you stop your getting hit by a speeding car one way or the other.

+ it was raining/sleeting pretty hard so no need to get all wet lol.
