My wife drives my accord, she said there isn't much heat again and there is snow coming from the vents! Is this possible? I haven't looked at it yet, it's so damn cold right now. The heat problem, I have a leak in the radiator about 3/4 the way up I found after flush and fill when there wasn't heat before. So before I look should I have her committed to the state hospital or is there some way snow is getting in?

its not going to snow in your car, well I wouldn't think so unlkess you have moisture in your vent system. In order for that your air blowing out would have to be below 32 degress and a fine mist of air comming out at the same time.

You really should keep a better eye on your maintenance issues especially if your wife drives the car. As cold as it is up there right now I'd fill it with a 50/50 mix and put a piece of cardboard infront of the radiator to keep the cold air off it. Just remember to take it off when it warms up

I had the same problem. It was last winter though, and i think when i started my car up about a half hour ago I felt a little puff of flurries come through my vents.

the intake for the blower fan is right behind the wipers... i think... anyway, if this is full of snow, you might get a blast of snow when you turn the heater on

Snowball fights when you warm up the car. Yeeha.

you should replace the radiator.
