Didn't expect the snow!

I'm in Cleveland. I target around Thanksgiving - but maybe I need to rethink that strategy.
I was rolling the dice when I took my new toy (2006 Porsche 911) to the airport on Monday for a 5 day biz trip. I thought - let's use this car 'til the bitter end. The forecast called for flurries on Wednesday, and my thought process concluded it's too early for anything to stick - the ground is too warm. Well - we have 6 inches on the ground now. I watched the highways as we descended into the airport. The highways looked clear and clean. My risk assessment said drive the car home. I made it with some fun tire spin on the city roads, but no drama or excitement. Thankfully highways were super clean and my neighborhood is totally flat.
This morning after breakfast I called a storage facility to set up winter storage for the Porsche. I need to put the snows on the 9-3 before the weekend is done. I will also NOT be blowing leaves this weekend. Looks like the "tidy up the basement" project will start sooner than planned.
Ah, snow.
