should I be concerned?

It would appear that by removing the saxocone, i've potentially saved my engine. I popped the hood this evening after arriving home to make sure that the steam I was seeing was from snow hitting the exhaust and other parts of the engine (we've got about 7 inches and it's still coming down like it means it), and I noticed that the hole where the saxocone would mount is literally filled with snow. I mean packed.


That can't be good, can it?


There was also a decent amount of snow in various places around the engine bay, including encrusting the MAF. On the plus side, the runners were nice'n cool.


Should I be addressing this issue, or just leave it the **** alone and enjoy the winter weather?

Ford engineered it kinda smart, they should have thought about that. I'd drive it.

Did you not have your hood down?

Hood's all the way down and latched tightly. As stated...snow's gettin kinda deep here, and I don't really baby it through the drifts, as it tends to handle snow quite nicely. This car's seemingly unstoppable in this deep white stuff.

SHO is a great car to drive in the snow.

Don't know about having that much snow packed in there though... Just don't let it get sucked into the engine I guess...
