It's disgusting.
You'll go on a warm day so the snow and ice will form humid fog that lingers.
Oil will form a sheen over the puddles over the ice, so it gets slippery and ugly. The big wheeled equipment they cruise around in compresses the snow into ice in the ruts, and the tire knobs make boot-sole size indentations.
Snow drifts between the cars and sticks around into spring. They pile the cars so you can barely get the doors open anyway. It gets impossible with the snow drifts.
I wear uninsulated rubber garden boots. Typical snow boots can't handle the wetness.
If a car is resting with its wheels off, on its brakes and rocker panels, you can guarantee that ice forms there and you'll have a heck of a time getting a jack in. This also wrecks stuff with rust, like if you want a spindle for its good bearings.
If a car gets its windows smashed, the 40 degree air and perpetual humidity from a winters' worth of snow makes them a moldy mess.
Since I'm there for tires though there's less competition and more idiots putting new all seasons on right before the car gets retired, or wrecked.
Oh, and dropping tools or fasteners in the snow stinks.
At least the hornets, skeeters, and black flies are dormant. And you can exert yourself, shedding layers to not sweat. If you go on a cold dry january day with a milky blue sky it's close to heaven.
