Smell of burning rubber from my car?
1995 850 wagon, NA.... All week, after I get out of the car, I smell burning rubber by the rear driver's wheel. As I put my nose into the wheel the wheel well, I smell burning rubber. Not brake pad smell, but RUBBER. Any clues? There is 18" of snow out there and I really can't lie on my back to crawl under.

Sounds like you have something rubbing the tire. I would take the tire/wheel off and see if there is any damage to the tire. If not, put the car on jack stands and see how the wheel turns. Maybe the caliper is rubbing or something.
Or you can do what GDog said and wait it out.
