I haven't made room for the camaro in the garage yet and there is a blizzard coming. How much snow have any of you had on the top? (Without any damage ). We are expecting 10-15" of wet snow.

10-15in of wet snow can weigh a lot! With no other option I would at least brush it off periodically during the snow.

That's a good idea. Unfortunately most of the snow is going to be overnight.

Do you have any room in the garage at all?

Loose a little sleep, rather than loose your convertible top.
A no-brainer.

Tops fine. Had about 18" of snow on the top at its highest. We got about 27-30" total

We had about the same amount of snow in Boston. With the big winds we had, and the aerodynamics of the car (I assume) I only had eight inches of snow on the roof and it weathered that fine. Couldn't see the wheel wells though...
