That's awful... were you plowing the roads for the city?

We got a ton of snow here, but my car don't look like that. Most of the crud is in the wheel arches and behind the wheels. Very glad I got mud guards this year because it's helped quite a bit keeping the side of the car somewhat clean on the slushy days.

I have a front lip and yes I was the first snow plow on the road. I have yet to see a truck on the road. I love driving in the snow.

Didn't snow too much here and most has melted already. If you look closely you can still see bits of snow and ice cycles on my car haha.

I just drove from Charlotte, NC to Richmond VA

South of VA the highway was covered in snow. So many people have no idea how to drive in snow, I saw at least 20 cars in accidents or spun out on the side of the road.

The 450h drives excellent in the snow. I was passing Suv's and pickup trucks. Traction control kicked in a few times but I never lost control.

my car was clean when I started it's a block of ice now.

Her first drive in the snow since I got her in December, wishing for some warmer weather so I can get started on some small mods.

That doesn't actually look that bad. When they start adding that calcium chloride stuff to the salt mixture, it's over. That stuff will turn your car white, and looks horrible. It's so damn cold here, can even begin to melt the stuff on the roads. It's supposed to rain this weekend, might be able to wash my car, just for the sake of getting all the salt stuff off. My car looks horrible. Thankfully I put a fresh layer of AMMO Reflex, Skin and Creme on it Christmas Eve, so it's heavily protected.
