Bah, what are you on about? Your engine would stay cool due to all the
snow packed around it in the engine bay... ;-)


The engine bay is at the other end of the car. (This is an old model
MR2, not a Ferrari or something so it's not worth breaking into my house
for the keys).

However I don't think much snow would get through the radiator of a
conventional front engine car. The bit next to the radiator would then
melt, leaving a blocked grill and a gap before the radiator.
