Default Winter in Chicago 2013

Can't resist the temptation of an empty parking lot by the lake.
Canon 5D III ISO 20,000!

That is awesome!!! Is it a C4 or C4S? My cousin has a 987.2 CS in Chicago and he does not dare to drive in the storm.

Drive safe and let us all hope for the snow and cold to go away!

If you get stuck, you can always call O'Hare!

I knew that one of the camera guys would notice the pics from a technical standpoint. One of the reasons I took the car out in the snow was to see how my semi new camera would do. Dimly lit parking lot, no flash, snow spitting from the rear tires stopped with not too much blur. f2.0 at about 1/800 sec. Somewhat grainy, but still pretty remarkable. Kudos to my novice 18 year-old son standing in the cold taking pictures.

BTW, in answer to a previous question, it's a C4

Looks like a blast! Another great example of ways we can enjoy a 911!

I can see a few spins on fresh snow. But otherwise, my 997 is clean in the garage and will hit the road next Wednesday when all that snow is melted and the roads are dry.

By the looks of your rear wheels digging in, I thought it was a C2!

Moving back to Florida in a few weeks looking forward to driving all year.
