Snow in NC
Poor thing. Karmann Ghia took it's place in the garage. If you're cold, they're cold. Bring them inside.

wpoll will become famous soon enough
Mine is now garaged for a few weeks while my wife is out of town. And it's cold outside - it may be summer here but it's cold!! No snow though.... although I'm not holding my breath... the world's weather has gone mad!

Kinda nice have the X5 under cover after 10 years of being "out in the cold". :-)

HNY to you to, OB...

Amazing how many E53 “lifers” are still here.

As a motorcyclist (my E53 is now parked next to my BMW R13 Dakar) I’m glad I live somewhere that doesn’t get that sort of snow, Props...

Damn it! Came out to frozen doors and broke the right door handle carrier trying to get in. Ended up going through the rear hatch.

Where I live, we're not accustomed to this amount of snow even after we say year after year that it snowed "more than evar *this* year!"

We have been on a pretty steady diet of 2-3 storms a year though it is rare to see more than a few inches like last week. Today, we enjoy sunny skies and low 60F's. On Sunday, it'll be a high of 25F and a low of 12F.

A real roller coaster until March when it will snow one frickin last time just to prove that it can so late in the season.
