After a snow storm! MB C350 2010 Fourmatic. Pleasant car to drive in the snow, after shovelling a little bit ;-)

No snow yet, but still happy to have a new battery, glow plugs, and a working stock block heater - wakes right up in the low teens!

I'm reminded why I moved. We used to have snow here (TN). Not so much in recent years.

Temps below 0ºF and 30 MPH winds for the past 48 hours. Mogs are not going anywhere soon! Just too cold to go anywhere!

Last two days temp hit 60ºF with rain, which melted all the snow. Last night it turned to snow and wake up to 14º and 20" of snow on the ground! First photo was taken two days ago before all the snow melted, but was warm enough to pull all the trucks out of the shop to do some cleaning. 2nd. photo was taken about an hour ago!

OM642 Jeep is the preferred winter transport:

Cruising effortlessly through the snow in my GLK250 and Metris! (GLK is better at it)

That photo above of the blue W123 coupe perfectly demonstrates why it had the body trim, it keeps all the road splatter off of the top of the car and windows/door handles quite well!
