Driving the Boxster in the snow.

Of course the drill these days is winter tires whenever ambient is consistently below 45 degrees F, regardless of moisture on the road.

And Porsche does sell a ski rack for these cars.

I've been caught a couple times in 5+ inches snow on my Summer tires. Car handles fine but I know I can't stop or make it up a hill from a standing stop.
Even Black ice on a 270 degree exit ramp, car's balanced handling and not panicking kept me off the curb and out of the alignment shop (It still didn't keep me from having to change my underwear)
I think the limited traction forces us to drive very conservatively and keeps us out of the ditches along side all the 4x4 trucks and SUVs (I have a 4x4 but I keep it on the road)

Retroman1969 - I notice 1500 RPMs on night picture (Should you really be taking pictures Driving, at night, in the snow) Sorry - With a manual, it would be hard to drive with rpm's that low

I'm pretty sure the freezing temps finally did my rough idling engine in, not driving in weather that cold ever again after it's fixed. Which sucks because it's my only car. Hankook ventus v12 evo's are also not suitable for icy driving at all, maybe snow, but all we ever get here is ice. Mid-rear cars also have something called snap oversteer, which means once you start to rotate, especially on ice, you're done, no countersteer can save you. Learned a lot driving the boxster on ice this last time. But hopefully, my area is done with it for the year.
