Not as much snow here, but holy hell, potholes are so large and so frequent. And I highly doubt any will be getting worked on anytime soon. Makes me fearful for when and where I will even be able to drive mine.

Some of them have their own zip codes

Pretty much

It looks like it may be into the lower 50s late next week here in SE Michigan according to the 10+ day forecast, which I never trust...

Let's keep our fingers crossed, I miss driving my car haha!

Issue now is snow melt wetting random roads. Made it 25miles yesterday, everything looked fine and one road would’ve coated the whole car

A couple weeks ago it appeared to be clear, took the car out and unfortunately hit a couple of puddles. When I got home I noticed the rear bumper/trunk lid was speckled with what appeared to be salt residue.
Sunday it was warm and raining so I took the car out to rinse everything off underneath with the rain water and then washed the car when I got home.

Once all the snow, salt, and potholes are gone, pollen season will be here coating the car in green dust. Then bug season starts.

With a black car it's only clean for a half hour anyway, so whatever.

Been driving a bit over the last few weeks in AK, been above freezing for a while and not looking to go back below in the forseeable forecast. Temporarily in Kansas right now, but looking forward to getting back and driving more! (With winter tires at this point still)

It definitely feels like winter is about over in Anchorage. There’s too much sun now to keep stuff frozen, daylight is starting to get longer than down south.

Mine's been sitting since November. Just purchased trans and diff fluids. Goals it to swap out and take her on the roads before April.

We have the added benefit of breaking up "bug season" with hail season, during the month of July there's always at least a few good hail storms that roll through town
