Reminds me of when my wife and I were just starting out. We don't get a lot of snow in DC, and the snow we do get usually melts in a day or two. So when we were newlyweds and living in an apartment together, we never bothered to buy a snow shovel. We would park the car on the street for days at a time and take public transportation everywhere.

Well, we had a freak snowstorm that dropped about 2-3 feet of snow in a day or two. In the apartment complex, nobody had snow shovels to dig their cars out. You can't sweep away 3 feet of snow with a broom. We ended up using a cookie sheet and a broiler pan to dig ourselves out. Then we decided that even though we dug ourselves out, we couldn't drive anywhere, because we would lose our spot, and we'd have to dig out a new parking place upon our return. So we stayed home.

Man, that place sucked. I'm glad to have a driveway.
