We have a garage, but we keep our car in the driveway and I say this as a New Englander. Having to keep the garage clean of the shit that falls off the car after a winter excursion is worse than having to brush the snow off after a storm, in my experience.

Having lived in New England, I wouldn't keep the car in a garage there, but my comment is about salt, not snow. Having also lived in Wisconsin, where the government uses literally mountains of salt each winter on the roads, I'll absolutely keep a car in the garage rather than near the street where large machines kick up salt as they dump it onto the roads. Enough collects just driving in the winter as is.
