Default Snow and Funny Noises

For those of you that live where it snows, do you ever get funny noises at the window seals after it snow or rains in cold temps and the Z has been sitting outstide?

I'm told that its normal for a roadster.

Default Noise

Can you describe the noise, I use my Roadster in winter time, last weeks in snow and cold, but didn't notice different noise.

I sometimes get a noise like two pieces of styrofoam rubbing together (it comes from the window seals). Also I find the windows freeze shut fairly often. I'm not talking about really cold temps here (0 celcius, 32 F).

I've never noticed any noises, but next time I get caught in the snow and cold I will listen more closely. I don't know if I don't have it or if my radio drowns it out.

I hear that, but whats the point in driving a beater in the winter when you own a Z? Its not like its a Ferrari or anything. With snow tires the Z drives very well (better than most cars with all season tires).
