It’s beginning to look alot like…

Fortunately, in this part of Texas we don't get a lot of snow. My Z spends most of winter in my shop. I drive my late wife's SUV. If there is significant snow, and since we don't have much in tjecwsy of snow removal, I drop air pressure down to about 25 psi and drive slowly. Worked well when I lived in NYC...

Well. this did not age well...We were visited by a weekend of sleet a d snow , temps in single digit F, with a low of -1°. Overnight it turned to ice and. in a town of 6,000. the city's snow response was to keep the 3 or so main streets relatively clear, and the rest of us on neighborhood streets were on our own. I couldn't get out of my driveway Saturday and was barely able to get out Sunday. Temps rose into the 20s Monday and Tuesday, the snow and ice turned to slush during the day, but 10° and below temps over night left us with sheet ice during the day. My Z3 is in my shop , and the sliding doors wouldn't open , the guides being filled with ice. Temps are up in the 49s and 59s for the next few days, so things should improve.

We got about 4+ inches of snow, which became ice overnight when the temp dropped below 10°F. I had parked the Z3 in my shop before the storm hit, andcthe snow turned to ice around the shop doors, which slide open. Fortunately I had planned ahead and didn't need to go anywhere, because the streets were sheets of ice, there is minimal snow or ice removal in this small town, and I couldn't open the shop doors anyway. I evrntually had to use a pick and shovel to break up the ice around the shop doors. this is what my front yard. the street and the field across the street looked like the day after the snowfall, for 4 days. My driveway to the shop is between the white poles.

Those are extreme swings in temperature in a very short period of time!!!

Are you snow-free now?

Are you snow-free now?

Yes. It took about 5 days before it was mostly gone, but there are still piles of snow/ice in some parking lots.
