Well, I got the snow off and sure enough, still a Roadster.

I have to admit, I'm ready for the birds to chirp and the flowers to bloom. We're about two inches away from the all time seasonal snowfall record of 51". That doesn't come close to some folks (eh Skidad), but it'll do.

Changed the top from black to white without even trying. Not so sure I like the look, though.

So in heavy snow, the weight would be bad for it right. How often do you clear it?

I saw your other post about not having any issue with your top so I figured you take precautions.

Actually I hate to touch the top. If I had my way I'd only actually touch it to put 303 on with a paintbrush twice a year. Paranoia strikes deep, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you, and all that.

I've covered it several times with plastic sheeting, then removed it, and the snow that's on it, after the storm is over. It's amazing how quickly the snow will melt off the red car and black top.

In the case of the picture, I scraped it off with my arm the next day, not long after I took the picture. Come to think of it, I didn't much actually touch the top, just kind of cut the snow off and to the side. Pretty much the same as I did the body. So far, so good, fingers crossed. (It's a car, if it outlasts me, I'll actually be disappointed.)
