Default Harsh winters, no garage, what Cover?

Hi all - enjoying the new SLK55 for a few weeks now. Since my purchase, I've been expecting to buy a car cover, or build a carport.

Does anyone have any experience buying a car cover and having it protect the car through a winter outdoors? (I am in New England - where it can be very harsh - lots of snow expected)

I am expecting to cover the car regardless, but was wondering if anyone has a suggestion. I usually would buy the official MB car cover, but there are links here with a lot (too many) options.

Cheaper seems to have great reviews (but reviews are on their own site)

Carcoverworld.com has same as many website - NOAH and others ranging from $200 to $300 or more.

My 2 cents on a SLK car cover:

Was wondering - would you trust the new car cover you have from *************.com to work well in the Winter with snow?

Thank you, and take care!

I've used other Noah car covers in the snow with no problems. Just do not try to remove a cover that is frozen to the car that could cause damage. Wait for it to thaw first.
