Snowing in Michigan!, not that unusual though. Stepped out of the barn and took a photo.

Been seeing this on the news, looks pretty rare for you folks down there.

Meanwhile in the soggy PNW, it's soggy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Much better to have snow than an LA firestorm!

My family is spread out between Dallas, Atlanta, and Virginia... all of us currently have snow on the ground.

I'd happily go driving in the 914 in the snow if not for the road salt/brine.

Yah, I Daily drove a 914 about 20++ years ago and it rapidly increased the rusting after one winter.
It was fun to drive in the snow…but then welding had to happen.

Totally agree, Cayenne is perfect for snow

Here's a shot from long ago, with my second 914. We found snow in Colorado on a road trip from Dallas. At one point we drove through more than a few inches, and the 914 did fine.

PEACHES? YES! But snow??? O.M.G! There's no snow here in the middle of Californica at the moment, although the temp is getting down in the high 20s (F.), but yesterday on one such frosty morning I spotted not just one but TWO convertible Citroens on the local road, driven by drivers wearing T-shirts and shorts! I strongly suspect that they were recent arrivals from Fargo (NoDak)!

Been there, done that. In my much younger days when I thought it was just a fun car to have and drive, it was my DD/work car thru a Chicago winter and single digit cold. And yes I bought actual snow tires for the back...

I'll see your Porsche snow and raise you! Guess which one is a 914.

Boy I remember driving to the Daytona 24 from Iowa back in the '70's and hated having to drive around Atlanta after they'd gotten even a dusting.
Those "southerners" did NOT know how to drive in the winter!!!!

Here in Texas the rednecks in the big lifted pickup trucks think that by putting their trucks in 4 wheel drive they can drive 70 mph on black ice. They find out in the usual way they can't. It can be very entertaining to watch if you like demo derbies.
