Covered in Snow

Hey, it snowed hard in brooklyn last night, and my 996 cab is completely covered in snow (about 8 inches) without a cover. Should I be worried? Can I leave it as is, assuming the snow will act as an insulator or will that ruin the car or convrtble top?

You will be fine. I saw a boxster commuting into the city in this...just lightly scrape the snow off, most other stuff will melt off the car tomorrow when the sun gets to it and it gets to 38 as the weather guys state...

I would at least wipe the snow off the canvas top. 8" of snow is a lot of weight on it.

As I've seen others post before on other forms... it's a car, not a Fabergé Egg. I think it can handle a little weather...
