Also, you will quickly learn how to drive in slushy snow, since this is the norm during the long winter months. Your car will probably never look as clean as it once did, since almost every car you encounter in winter has a generous coating of dried salt from the one used on the roads. Most residents don't even bother to wash their cars until late spring or summer.
