Since that ADAC magazine is German, this name would be quite a mouthful: Froschteich Lebensmittel.  Or, since Germans usually put the name before the product (e.g., Kolbenschmidt = Smith pistons), Lebensmittel Froschteich. |

I suppose calling it an "After, then before" might be more correct.

Nice shot, with just a small amount of the Beetle visible, and the strong contrasting red color.
Is that considered a major snowfall for your town/area? That much snow would be a total amount for 3 entire winters for us in southern New York. |

It is above average for a single storm event, but not above average overall. In fact, we are still a little below normal at this point in the season.
As I recall, we got 32-36 inches of snow over the course of four days, with one 12 hour period dumping 13 inches. We're at 2300' elevation, but the mountains around us got much more snow above 4000' and up to 6500'.

Was that as soft as it looks?? Looks like cotton candy, only not all sticky.

This was a few days after the storm, after a little rain, then some cold. Then it warmed up and got sticky. I cleared the snow off minutes after taking this photo. There are several hundred pounds of ice crystals on the car in the photo.
I cleared my single cab, and a few roofs (rooves?) on my property and my neighbor's property that day. Took a few more days to recover from that.

My 66 sunroof bug after its first drive under its own power since 1996 or so. Still rolling on rock hard bias ply tires from the early 80's, too. The rear snow grip studs are gnarly.
