It was cleaned off, then I drove on snow covered roads. It’s a never ending cycle.

The other car looks fine, you obviously must be snow driving wrong.

Yes, but it’s slow.

Convenient excuse. I’m going to need trip logs from both you and the other car to confirm.

This...is a thing? As a Californian, color me confused. Does it build up when it’s snowing and you’re driving or just if there’s loose snow on the roads? And do sedans get it to a lesser extent? Does everyone’s car there just end up with giant kammbacks made of snow?

Combination. There was about 1/2ft of snow on the roads + blowing snow. It is a lesser extent on sedan.

Just like dust when you drive gravel roads, snow swirls around and sticks to the back of the car. Sedans mostly get in covering the back of the trunk area, but anything with a straightish back will get it right the way up. It’s the drag pulling everything along behind you in a swirling vortex that hurls little bits at angry speeds in all directions. In a slightly more gruesome context, I took an intro to forensics class and one of the guest speakers was a blood spatter analyst who showed us pictures of a van involved in a hit and run that got blood spattered up the back of it, and apparently the forensics team struggled for a long time to figure out why, even though having grown up driving on gravel roads that often have snow on them I knew immediately what was going on upon seeing the pictures.

Depends... in Colorado I’d sometimes see sedans with a hump of snow built up on top of the trunk connecting to the rear window. I guess it just depends on aerodynamics.
