I was in South Carolina for Christmas and the day after my Element looked like this.

lol, wow! Ill post my pics of some snow on it a little later (lazy at the moment)

Some new pics from New years Day. Keep in mind, the cars had both been cleaned off about 10 minutes before I took the pics...

So Phreaxer how are the painted pannels holding up to the winter weather? Drew

I have no complaints thus far. They seem to be doing just as well as the metal panels. I have just under 3k miles now...

Don't really understand the big deal about painting the plastic panels. All Bumper Cover on 1990+ cars are made of ABS plastic. AS long as you use Flex Additives to your paint, you should be fine!!! :)

I really like the pictures so far. Empires photo is really cool and there is an interesting quality, to the light, that is captured in Phreaxer's images. There something neat and different about the light outside, during the winter and after a snowfall when the sun comes back out.

It is snowing right now and we are expecting a great deal more through Thursday. I hope I will get some good pictures to post.

Some new pics from New years Day.

It was snowing in Bothell on New Years??

It was snowing in Bothell on New Years??
Hehe, no. I was up on Vancouver Island for the holidays. :)

Here are a few pictures from our last big snow storm in the Seattle area.

Posted in another thread but will post here as well for those who didn't or don't read the other. They are probably more appropriate here in the Gallery anyways.

hey PVR is it just me or did you get new tires? if so what are they? are they the Yokohama geolanders?

I had my E for less than 2 days before I swapped the OEM alloys over to winter wheels and tires in early November. It looks like it will be a pretty snowy winter so I'm glad I made the swap when I did.

The tires are a non -branded Goodrich tire - "winter ride". They are in common use in this neck of the woods. Although they are an older design (nondirectional) they seem to be good in snow and on ice and have a relatively hard compound so they should wear well. I run Nokian Hakkapelliitas on my other vehicle and, in comparison, these are pretty good. They were also half the price of the Nokians!

Man, those poor "E"s!! What's the hotline for Element Protective Services??

I don't have any ice box pics to share since I keep my E tucked in its garage every night. Man, I'd hate to scrape some of the windshields I've just seen! :shock:

If I came outside and found my car looking like the pics of wmas', i would go back in, get back in my bed and call in sick. sorry boss, Im calling in 'white' (no racism intended since I am indeed white)

Here are a few pictures from our last big snow storm in the Seattle area.

Looks like shrink wrap!

Here's an older shot from last winter.

Just went out to take a few pictures for another post on regarding a cargo mat or liner. While out I snapped off a couple more pictures of my Element in our winter wonderland outside.

Almost time for another bath.

Sort of related to frozen.
I skidded on the ice.

One snowy Night

I can't wait to get mine and drive in the SNOW!!!

Our E is going to get a lot of loving this year! Last year he had to live outside in the snow, but now that we have a house he gets to stay cozy in the garage. :)

i hope we have a big snow this year... havent had one here in NC in a couple years...:-(

Little off-season, but here's mine, under 20+ inches of snow last winter...

Let it snow....

My E was in a nice garage (for the first time in its life!!) so it didn't get snowed, but everything else around did!

BTW Preyj, how long did that take you to clean off? :lol:

LMAO love the "top hat" look! :lol:

Sugar, Sugar! I love those E's all covered in sugar!!!!:lol:

Sugar, Sugar! I love those E's all covered in sugar!!!!:lol:

Just think of the mountains of cotton candy you could make with all that! :grin:

time to play in the snow once again!

Here is mine with minimal snow taken last weekend.
This is what we in the South get excited about, and go out buy all the bread and milk from the grocery stores. :-D

i see lil JoJo needs some sugar ok time to send some kandy to her....:twisted:

This year, mine frozen looks about the same as "thawed." We've had the temps, but nt the precip in Dallas. I wish we would, though.

I am jealous of the two guys on top from Madison. We didn't get half of what you two did (reported 18") here in Milwaukee/Waukesha (3"-6") Got the board rack locked and loaded waiting for another snow fall to come my way. would have posted a pic but she's been sleeping in the garage so it wouldn't show much. Hope you two are having fun! I'll be making my way out there soon to do some riding (Cascade Mountain)

We received about 15 inches of snow before I took this picture around 3 pm today. I don't know how much we have gotten since then, but they were expecting 12-24 inches in our area.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v513/captndepp27/Holidays%202009/PC190242.jpg

Here's our little girl with her big sis and brother this morning. :) We got around 20 inches total in our front yard. :) The snow was above the tires this evening.

i was wondering if there would be any photo additions today because of the large amounts of snow out east.

hope you guys have snow shovels!

Great pics of the recent nor'easter...the only problem, where are the pictures of the cross country ski tracks in the snow!!??

I wish I had taken a "before" picture, but here's my E with the Girlfriend's Fit in the driveway after I shoveled and cleaned off both cars.

I am still waiting for our first real snow fall for this year. Here is a couple from last winter.

Someone hit our E with a mohawk grenade!

This isn't a pic of the E, but it's our deck after the storm was done. I'm still not sure how much snow we got, but it was A LOT! :)

The E faired better than the Prelude or the gf's Lexus, but still got covered pretty well.

20 incher last year.

7:00 a.m. December 24. So far, only 1/3rd of the snow the current weather system is forecast to deliver. I had to go outside and "play" in it, just for the fun of it. In this pic, I'd stopped at the 12"+ berm in an unplowed parking lot, just because I could. ;-)

Up until this point, merely front-wheel-drive was just fine (love my Pirelli jumbo-gumbo tires), but I confess, the rear axle kicked in when I drove through it because the whole belly was floating on the snow berm. 8)

(Those Pirellis already have 50,000+ miles on them, too, so I guess they're still good for another winter!) :twisted:

Perhaps more pics to come as the snow continues to pile up during the next 48 hours...

24 inches measured in my driveway.

This is my Element after the ice storm in Boone NC last night!

Still gives me chills just looking at it....:shock:

man so jealous of you guys. It snowed... 1 inch in dallas, and it didnt even stick. ALthough I am enjoying this 65-75 degree weather we have all week long, I love a good winter. Time to pack up and move north.

A few minuets ago. Its still coming down. The bumper on the Dodge shows the best on how much we have gotten so far.:-)

That's awesome, I will actually be in Big Bear next week on vacation! so excited!

Let me know when you arrive. The winds are really blowing now and blowing the snow off the trees and its hitting the roof and it sounds like a earthquake and its making a whiteout outside.

Ok this is this morning and WOW!! I had to repair the shear pin in the blower again and went down the street and made a trail and also to everyone's front door.

pic didn't come out, Why is it so hard to post a pic?--Got it!

Almost out.

5th Element - You got that snow today or was that earlier? That is a load of snow! Wow.

We're suppose to be getting the most snow in years here in VA, about 8 to 13"

really?? what about a couple weeks ago how much did u get then we got like 18-20 inches

Yeah, but that was in the D.C. area...he's talking about VA Beach / Hampton Roads. You think they actually ever see snow...let alone 15" O_o

:lol:

Here's my TRP-E in Sun Valley, ID, at Christmas 2008.

The E today, with my kid wandering into the frame...

I actually brushed 8" off before my daughter came out with the camera, we got about 12" before it was over here.

Proof of 8" on table next to driveway.

Frozen Element Pic

This is the best picture I took of my Element before the snow clearing began. We got around 4 inches here.

really?? what about a couple weeks ago how much did u get then we got like 18-20 inches

We only got like 4" then but it was wet snow, this stuff was pure powder!

Great, now they are talking about up to 4" of snow again here :9

Let is snow! About 4 inches expected in the DC Metro area!

I just posted this picture in the SC picture thread, but thought I'd share it in here as well. There's not a lot of snow, but it was a big ice storm.

http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt101/ultraill/car5.jpg

Our ABM Element can barely be recognized under 18 inches of wet snow.

Used my '09 Forester to "plow" out of the carport to the street. What a snow tank! The plows have yet to come around.

This was after like three days, most of it melted, Today its suppose to rain,and then tomorrow sleet and , they are saying a foot in OKC...so that will shut everything down for about three days.

This is 2-Days ago. In the middle of NY's "Big blizzard."

looks like mine.n.y winter:grin:

Got about 3 feet from the storm that just passed through. I'm in North-West New Jersey near the NY State Line.

I forgot to take pics while the E was covered, but you can still see it in the driveway in a couple shots (only the roofline in one of them haha)
