Wow lucky you, you have almost no snow at all,
here in quebec city
we already had 3 snow tempest!!
( there is about 1 meter of snow, ( 3.3 feet)
what is bad for the clear coat is the clacium that the city use to defrost the streets, its is the origin of all the rust on the cars,
having a good waxing process before winter and a good antirust and your car can do over 10-12 winters....
well if i can il be posting pic of my car, all under the snow!!!

Actually, the frameless windows on my 2000 ES are a big plus.
All windows freeze up in snow country, where its mild one day, and
frozen the next.
In drivethroughs, I just open my door, gently nudge the top of my glass,
and the window breaks through any ice.
With a framed window (like my old LS), I was always waiting to break a
window regulator or burn out a motor.

Made it safely down the mountain today with snow chains (first time putting on snow chains) . I'm impressed w/ the Lexus's ability to dampen the vibration from them, not even a rattle
