Drove the 928 in snow yesterday (in Houston)
For the first time in 15 years of ownership, I drove my 928 while it was snowing yesterday. It was the earliest snowfall in Houston in recorded history. The roads were not icy at the time, so pretty safe, but still a first for me.

You are correct Ken it was just outside of edmonton.
And I know it doesnt look too bad in that picture Imre, short of limited visability (compairably). But in town my spoiler became a plow.... Glad I dont have a later car with that low cooler....
