Do think leaving 30 inches of snow on my 924S will harm the tires or suspension?

This sucks...took us over a full day to dig out to the main road.

Holy crap, now that's a lot of snow! Weird. We've only gotten like a total of 5-6" this year.

28 inches in Rockville, MD. It took me half of Saturday and half of today to dig out. My rotator cuff is complaining quite a bit. I'm more worried about the weight of the snow on the roof than my cars. Now it sounds like we'll get another 6 inches on Wednesday.
The Federal Government is closed tomorrow and the METRO is shut down above ground until further notice. Even though my company is open, I might sleep in.

Bet you wish you had one of these! See the snow packed to the front axle? This thing chugs through 2 foot deep snow drifts like they were not there.

Snowplows in our area seem to be doing a pretty good job. I've got a Chevy 2500 4X4 which is good for over a foot. We are in the middle of another blizzard in the DC area and I just came in from snowblowing another 8 inches.

It's supposed to snow for another 10 hours with quite high winds. Hope it keeps blowing the snow off the roof. That's the big worry right now. There have been more and more roof collapses in the area with all the weight on them.

I'm almost out of coffee but still have over 120 beers in the reefer.
what to do....what to do....road test the Chevy or get faced?

how about both at the same time?

Well....there's another 8 inches of snow on the car, and I just don't care at this point. I've got other issues, like how to get out of my driveway with 2-3 foot drifts covering the road. We now have between 26 and 42 inches on the ground, depending on where you measure.

I have a 4WD F-150 Supercrew, but I don't think it will make it past 2-3 foot drifts on our hill, especially coming up.

Luckily, my neighbor has a tractor with a front end loader.
