Winter 997TT action

Been using my turbo for most of upper Michigan winter so far.
Running Sottozeros on OZs.
For long trips I need to check the weather but its been a blast trying to put down 500 lb-ft on roads that are hardly ever clear.
Ceramics do OK, not as good as in summer.
Minor issues of window freeze and washer fluid freeze.
Also accumulation of ice on the inside of wheels.
I usually keep the nanny on.
Anyone with similar experience?
I ordered a GT3 for the spring. Don't think it will ever see snow!

We just got 20 " of snow in DC. My Chevy Suburban can't make it back up the hill to my house, so "no," the tt is staying in the garage.

Yeah, it's dicey...I stupidly got caught in a blizzard once, 150 miles from home.
I should add that we get an ave. 141 inches of frozen precip annually.
I am running about 29/34 for pressure. Too low?
For back up I've got a Silverado and an S6 with Vredestein wintrac XLs.
