Snow

Although I didn't ever plan to find out it Handled it snow, I got caught in a Snowstorm while returning from out-of-state trip. The car is equipped with Winter tires. II was surprised to find out that they are handled the snow just fine. No problem at speeds up to 50. More importantly No problem stopping and turning.

Just have to wait for warm day get all the stuff off my car

Glad you hear you and the car is safe and sound. At least you were prepared with snow tires. Would have hated to hear what could have happened if you did not have them.

Smart move putting snow tires on there, you never know what you're going to run into.

Shades of my old 1300cc 1966 VW, only seven times the horsepower with interior heat!

Shouldn't of been surprised at all -- did you really think it doesn't snow in Germany? Check out some of the official Porsche videos of their cars in places like Canada and Finland (e.g. Camp4 and Ice-Force). Looks like great fun!
