Even my 89 stays inside, the MB can sit out in the snow.
I actually took my GTS out in this storm today. Here in Maine there was about 5 inches along the midcoast, less inland where I live. I don't know why I decided to take the shark to run an errand 60 miles away in a snow storm. I guess I just wanted to see how it would go. I've never done that before in a shark. There were just flurries when I struck out, but then about 25 miles into the trip towards the coast, it really started coming down heavy. I have all season tires on it, but still had a hard time keeping it straight.
I don't think I'll do this again. Not because of how the car behaved, but I just feel like I was using it too hard. I gave it a good washing at the car wash before parking it.
Good experience though. Beautiful drive through some back roads of Maine with big white flakes coming down and the quiet of tires running on snow.

My 928's are not here, but at my vacation house in WA. And yes there are plenty of Porsches' in Alaska, 928's included. We even have our own chapter of the PCA.

We had a foot plus. You should get one of these garages. I had one dropped off in my back yard for my shark. Delivery took 30 minutes. http://www.cntg.org/porsche/
Can't wait for the summer.
