It is not okay to leave the car parked for 2 days in snowy weather. Allow time for snow removal: The biggest impact is that snow will directly cover the car, often accumulating over 30 centimeters by the next morning. You need to leave early for work to allow time to clear the snow. Failure to use antifreeze can cause problems: If the vehicle's radiator does not contain antifreeze, it is prone to issues like radiator swelling or cylinder block cracking. The car battery will be affected: Additionally, extremely cold weather poses a significant challenge to the car battery. Battery performance noticeably declines in winter, and if the battery is already aging, it may fail to start the engine after just one night.
