Maybe, but I've lived here for twenty years and it hasn't changed yet. I've just resolved to always have a shit car on hand to take out when there's any indication of ice melt on the roads.

Awesome news !! You are going to love that car if you go through with it, I just drove my Cayman yesterday and will drive it again today and it is a lot of fun to drive and mine is just a base.
