Post a picture of your prius in the snow

We're having a cold one (for us) this year.

 

not what you are looking for....Was on the wrong side of a hit and run

 

Well it is in the snow

 

This was last winter. I stopped at the Harley Davidson dealer on 322 in PA near State College. Not so much in the snow, but it was a wintry mix that day

 

From the double the annual snowfall, record setting winter in the
Ballamer-Warshtin area last year:



That really is a Prius under there: :rockon:



Shoveling Amapola out was a fruitless effort.
We didn't see a snowplow in our area inside the Ballamer city limits for
10 days.

 

Mine does not do well on ice. Does well on snow if I am careful. I run summer tires so bad traction and an overzealous traction control system (2005) = ice issues.

 

I think it does about as well as any other smallish red FWD car in
the snow.

My rule for whether or not to head out for work is simple:
If it's snowin', I ain't goin'.
So, I may not be the best person to ask.

The 2008-9 have the least "touchy" traction control of the Gen IIs.
It will let you spin the wheels a little bit at least.

Biggest problem I've enountered is the limited clearance underneath,
4-5 inches? The relatively smooth bottom lets you slide right up on the
snow and the front wheels are up in the air. If you are careless or
unlucky enough to get a bunch of snow jammed under the car, you're
stuck, and it's real hard to dig packed snow from under the center of
the car.

This year I've got a 4-wheel set of Blizzaks on rims ready to mount
should we get more that 2 or 3 inches. I hear they go really well on
snow and even ice if you're careful and keep a little speed on...

We'll see.

 

I gotta ask, if the beloved Prius is outside buried in all that snow - what's in the garage?

- D

 

How about a picture of 2 Priuses in the snow?

 

Don,

House and garage were built in 1938.
It is the smallest one-car garage I've ever seen.
There are no grease stains on the floor.
I'm not so sure a car has ever been parked inside.

We'd have to fold the side mirrors to get the Prius in.
OK, that's do-able.
But, how do you get out of the car once its inside?

It appears to be an architectural evolutionary dead-end...
the no-car garage. :doh:

 

Well since there are a few Gen IIIs in here... This was last year. Too darn cold this year to take pictures.

 

Here is Rudy, back in November.

 

The old dukes of hazzard way? Climb in and out through the windows.

I haven't parked in my garage in the 4+ years I've been in my house. Harley and other junk are in there instead. Debating getting a detached garage on the side of the house, but I think I'd miss the open-ness of the way it is now.

 

Hello from California...when I saw this, I thought, "Oh, Photoshop contest!"

 

Brrrrr! Poor things look cold!

 

My Prius' first snow was in California, Oct 4, 2009, near Lake Tahoe:


And no photochop.

 

Here are a few pics of my 05 Prius! It really loves the snow!!

 

I had to leave Herb at the end of our driveway. I managed to get this far before the snow got so deep that I couldn't move. Got it dug out, turned around and parked on the "street" the next day, but it was a good two weeks before I could drive up the driveway to the house. Hiking 1000 feet through knee-deep snow was no fun.
