Bring on the snow damnit!!!

[wolf]

The noon news on channel 3 posted a nice little chart, telling various towns and cities when the would be out of the snowline. They happily proclaimed that the snow would STOP ... around 1230.

Well, dammit, it's 1530 hrs now, and I do seem to see white flakes continuing to fall out of the sky. It's cold and wet, so I'm assuming it's NOT god's dandruff. (if we are made in god's image, and WE have dandruff, so does god QED. Of course, the supreme being probably has access to much better hair care products)

I spent the better part of the last hour attempting to unearth my car. As I slogged my way across the parking lot I could see most of the vehicle exposed. I made the mistake of thinking "hey, that's not so bad" before I was close enough to actually inspect the situation.

The rear of the car was mostly exposed, and the plow guys did a VERY nice job of not plowing me in. In fact, they cleared the snow to within THREE INCHES of my rear bumper.

Then I saw the front.

Up to the end of the front doors, my car was encased in a MASSIVE drift ... three to four feet high ... continued up to the roof!

I had to dig my way to the driver's side door, made all the more difficult by the lame-ass parkjob of some idiot neighbor with a volvo who parked illegallly next to me. (I use the end space in storms since it's usually the easiest to bust out of). I had about an inch of clearance on either side of the shovel blade. Trust me ... I shovelled a lot closer to his car than mine.

I dont' have a lot of patience for this kind of nonsense. I shovelled out enough to get the driver's door open ... fired her up, blasted out of the space. (Automatic Traction Control RULES peeps).

Then I cleared the snow off the front and back windows.

I'm ready to rock ...

Of course, I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. I cleared a little bit more of the snow away from the parking space, put the Red Baron back into it and out of it a couple of times to make sure that I can get it out when I need to. I'm not driving until I have to. (which will be tomorrow, most likely)

The company jeep is on it's way to pick me up.
