Mine was tucked away in the garage too, but after a 45min. drive to work on the Queensway this morning, the whole front grill and bottom lip is covered in snow and slush. Wish I had my digital cam with me today, it looks neat. It will all be melted in the parking garage by the time I leave though.

LMAO. We are having the warmest winter ever here in Edmonton. We barely have snow now as it is, and had virtually nothing until two weeks ago! We haven't had that much snow all season!

We got 6"-8" since this morning - and it's sticky and H-E-A-V-Y !!
Absolutley no way I'd make it down my street even with the winters.

There was a thread on here somewhere where they wanted pictures of cobalts in the snow...well I just took her out of the garage, onto the street, to take some pictures with all the snow covered trees and stuff, and was doing great in the heavy snow but it was so slippery I got stuck spinning. Had the neighbours come and push me back up the driveway hahaaa! Got some nice pix though, and met some people from the street, so that's okay I'm definitly not going anywhere today!

My software is only installed in my PC at work or I would have posted them.
And plus, I'm wearing a bikini I didn't think you'd want to see them...

I haven't seen Jason in here since he injured his shoulder, but I'm sure he would jump at the opportunity to say yes we want to see them.

Okay. You KNOW there's too much snow to drive in when...
...there's a long rusty coloured streak left in the snow behind you (lol!).
The snow was so high the underbody of the car was dragging over it.
I've either never driven in so much snow, or I've never driven such a low car

I'm in Ottawa as well SSBlondie, you are lucky you didn't have to go anywhere today. The Queensway was brutal at 8am for a Saturday. I had problems getting off my street as well, slipping and spinning all over the place. Heading east from Kanata against a strong wind wasn't bad, but when I got to work, the whole front bumper, grill, headlights, and rad opening was white with snow and slush. I think the lower lip acted like a shovel and scooped up all the snow into the opening. Looked like I had a primer front bumper on my black car.

My drive to work this morning makes me question Stage II this spring. If I have trouble today with traction with only 5-10cm, nevermind an additional 30-50whp next winter. Kinda got me thinking of a winter car... Anybody with more power than stock drive their SC in the winter this year? And if so, how do you find it?

Grabbed about a 20 minute plan (nap) after my last post and was told to head to Owen Sound for money spending. Thought I'd run the Ranger cause I didn't want the Cobalt to get all messed up. Surprise was on me. Whata a great run...clear roads and sunshine. Go figure.

P.S. Our cars are to low for that heavy sloppy snow SSBlondie.

Hey Canuck, come out to a meet sometime.
