Even in the case of a same day turnaround I've ended up in the e-garage. The e-garage isnt too bad and would address your snow issue, but I always inevitably miss the shuttle as i walk out the door and have to wait 15+ min for the next one. Its a pain.

This obviously is a matter of personal preference, but it always was my preference to drive myself. (I am using the past tense because I no longer fly out of BOS with any regularity.) Yes, there is the time lost because you cannot be dropped off and picked up curbside, but then again you don't have the issue of trying to find your car service when you land. (Not sure if that's an issue at BOS. It can be a huge inconvenience at NYC's airports.) And with the Passport Gold program, parking quickly and conveniently never was an issue. So unless things have changed -- which of course is entirely possible -- for me the ability to drive myself to and from the airport and park quickly and easily either in the Terminal B Garage or Central Parking outweighed the minimal inconvenience of not being dropped off and picked up curbside.
