Default Winter 2008/2009 Snow Pictures - Share your pictures here!

Well, it looks like another winter is upon us and for those of us brave enough to 1) live in the colder regions of the world and 2) drive our cars year round, here's our chance to show others how well these cars handle and ~look~ in the snow.

So, as the snow flies, pile on and share your pictures.

No snow but I think it qualifies for winter picture!

This is the last 200' of 1 mile of camp road that leads to my lakehouse! The house is down the hill (10%+grade) in the back and will post some snow pictures later. Yes glad I have the C4S.

That aint no waterfall thats my driveway! It can get rather ugly there in the winter depending on the thaw/freeze cycles. Even though I plow it the Ice can build up rather big there! Its just raining hard right now LOL! Last winter with the record snowfall we received I quit plowing/snowblowing mid febuary and closed the place up.

It was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Looks like it can get treacherous.

The problem is not the snow. It's salt covered roads. To wash cars in the Winter in Michigan is not fun and there's always salt left somewhere.
