My Camry in the snow

This car is originally from California, then move to Texas, then to Pensylvania, then back to Texas, and now it's in Connecticut with me. Drove her through the blizard last night. Safe and sound in second gear and 25 mph. And this is what happen this morning!! Oh and the car have 191,000 miles on it. I really should change out that 10-30 oil from October though.

Far out. I can only imagine walking outside and seeing my car surrounded in snow like that. I wouldn't know where to start!

Here's a thread in the Off Topic forum with more snow photos if anyone's interested:

oh, no beach homes here hehe, I wish
Those in background are rears of regular houses facing the street on the other side. it's kinda hilly area, not too far from shore.
Township is called Wallington. We had here like 2 feet of snow, varying from place to place because of wind drifts...

Yeah, I was reading news and Jersey got hit badly (same about NYC). For instance, NJ Transit bus service is still suspended since yesterday 8pm until now and those guys usually can drive through worst conditions normally hehe. When they suspend the service, it means it must be very bad out there.
