Default Snow tonight! What do I do?

Damn! Snow starting tonight - and the car's too dirty to put the cover on!

Need some advice: do I let the sky dump 1-3 inches of snow, sleet, ice on my baby, or cover her even though she's dirty?

Maybe I should rinse her off with the hose then cover her?

Help!

Tonight...Snow developing...mixing with sleet after midnight. Snow accumulation up to 2 inch. Lows in the upper 20s. East winds 10 to 15 mph.

Sunday...Breezy. Snow and sleet early...changing to rain. Rain mixing with snow late in the afternoon. Additional snow accumulation up to 1 inch. Highs in the mid 30s. East winds 20 to 25 mph.

Let the snow come. Keep in mind only that you don't want toooooo much accumulation on your roof (although what they're calling for should not be of concern).

If your paint is in any particularly good condition, I would not cover my [dirty] S2K with a car cover. That's just me. Plus, if its already wet, you'd be trapping moisture under the cover...and in the cover. Also would be trapping dirt/grit inside the cover. Imagine that each time you'd put your cover on next time, drag it off the car, etc. .

Just my 2 pennies
