Dry COLD Snap?
Pity I can't wash my car inside the garage instead of outside on the driveway.
The other downside to washing a car when it's below 0°C - frozen doors!

BCR, the problem with a dry warm snap is snow melt. The roads would be a mess, RX back to filthy in no time. Some roads here still have a considerable amount of snow on the sides from the storm on December 26 and the five others following it. Only heavy rain will get rid of it and wash all the salt away. In the meantime snow is falling yet again. Another foot 
For those of you who have a delta sonic around you (for those of you who don't its a chain carwash place) you can get unlimited carwashes for $22 bucks a month. Our rx is never dirty, get it washed on the way and way home from school regardless of weather ha

No Snow to Melt

My car isn't anywhere near as dirty as the ones pictured in this message thread.
It'll get somewhat dirty from rain and dirt kicked up off the street, but there's little to no road salt in it, at least.So, for me, a dry warm snap would be a great opportunity to clean up.

BCR, I'm jealous of your weather! The snow just keeps coming with no chance of going away anytime soon. Record snowfall for the month and there's already talk of another big one next Wednesday
Another big problem is where to put it all. Here is a picture I took this afternoon of my RX at the end of my driveway where the pile is somewhere north of 7 feet. It would have been higher if I didn't knock it down a little. You can imagine how fun pulling out the driveway is (NOT!).

Go with Sewell for half the price and do the install yourself. The mud guards do help. Just look at picker's RX without them.

Clean for now
Finally had a chance to give the RX an overdue bath yesterday. It's amazing how much dirt and salt had accumulated. Blame it on three storms in two weeks. The 450h might not look as good as Benny's since it started to snow before I could finish. At least it's better than 99% of the cars around here. Only for the next 36 hours though, snow and sleet are on the way
