Jeff's video reminds me of living at Tahoe through one heavy snow winter (1982/'83?) with my first 356, a white '59 Sunroof Coupe, as my only driver. There came a series of storms dumping 5 feet of snow on the ground in 24 hours. The 356 drives great on snow, but is not particularly suited to pushing snow out of its way. It also tends to high-center itself atop a packed-down snowplow berm if you don't get a fast enough run at it. The worst aspect of winter driving in the 356 is forward vision at night in a snowstorm. Besides the 6v beams and inadequate defroster function, the tilted-back headlights bounce a blinding reflection off snowflakes.

7.5 inches of snow yesterday, and still coming down here in Southeast Michigan. So other than staring at the roadster in the garage, here's some more real use cases. The dog is Jeff Zwart photo.
Best of the new year to you all.
