I used to live in Bethlehem when I went to college, They always had more snow then philly. I'm really surprised allentown didn't get it that bad. Oh and the S/C is under a bright blue cover, just hard to tell with all that white stuff...

We got completely screwed. 3 lousy inches. 
Can't drive the car in it and I can't ride my sled in it. Useless! This is the first year I can ever remember that they got more snow to the south than we got. We usually get 2-3x the snowfall of CT.

I live in montreal, canada, and only once we got a lot of snow...my little chrysler neon could not even move 1 foot without getting stuck...that day sucked! all the rest of the winter it's freezing temps, and if it's a bit warm, it rains then freezes again...crapiest winter ever!

we got like 2 inches but it melted off the road like instantly, my Camaro is in the garage under a cover though. it doesn't exactly run well when its cold anyways, thats what a lumina's for, however it's nowhere near as fun in the snow.

I live in Buffalo, so I got a good one (These pics are around 3 years old).
I always store my car in my garage all winter. Well we decided to have a wall cut down in my house. And the guy needed to get into the attic the next morning at around 7am. I didn’t want to wake up that early and move the car (You have to go through the garage to get in the attic). So I moved it out the night before. I mean, what could happen in a night right?
The aftermath:
Not too mention, I obviously don't have snow tires for the IROC. So it took me FOREVER with my family pushing for me to get it back in the garage. But it does not end there. While it took us forever to get it back in, my cooling fans decided they were gonna stop working that day, and my car overheated. Thank *** there was no damage.
Worst day EVER!

my V6 always does well in the snow. i do not look forward to the eventuality of driving my V8 GTA in the snow. i am gonna drop big money on snow chains just in case though. i set of nice ones.
no way i am screwing up that car due to some frozen water.

Seriously all I would use is Studded winter recaps in the Back and all seasons in the front and I would do fine.. All chains are really used for is Deep Snow, they won't really help in the Ice, probably just make it worse.

So far this year here in Iowa hasn't been too bad and this year was the first year that I have been able to put my firebird away for the winter. Here are a few pics from last year that I have.

This pic was of my girlfriends car that was sittin right next to mine. You can see how deep it was on the car before I started to clean it off. I was working overnights and this night we didn't go in because of the snow. I kept cleaning her car off all night long. You can see it building up again after a half hour of warming myself back up.

I live just north of Amack in Stroudsburg, and we got 5 inches up here. Both my camaro's are out back under nice Wolf covers, and they got cleaned and dried off as soon as the snow stopped
Grew up in Jersey and Allentown area...the snow and cold winters died off about the time I got my license. Then like an idiot, I moved to Minneapolis in 1991 just to experience some really crappy winters!!! I finally got smart and moved south to FL where I don't have to worry about snow anymore.
Florida ain't all that great, though. I'm ready to move back to Minneapolis. I'll take the snow and cold for the better quality of life. My car sits in the garage more here than it did for the 6 months of winter in Minneapolis.
