Some damage to the wheel rim, but not obvious without close inspection. I mention this because I took the car in to Les Schwab for an alignment yesterday and it was still spot-on.

These are apparently solid cars. My curb contact was not gentle.
did you have snow tires on?

Nope. Ten minutes later, however, conditions got even worse, and I put on chains. After that, we were invincible and got to where my wife was stranded by going on snowy back roads and avoiding the gridlocked main roads.
