...at least the top.....
They scraped the road into the cul de sac but the weenies haven't cleaned out around the vehicles yet......they said they were busy elsewhere.....they have folks paying 100 bucks cash to dig them out....they are gonna be surprised when they don't get paid if the snow melts a little more 'cause I am hiring some teenie boppers to dig the vehicles out....they have already violated their contract and will lose the rest of it.....just 'cause I can, and I'm the rotton no good ba$tard that's head of the homeowners assoc. I have already hired someone to pick me up tomorrow for the clinic.

Whenever I watch a football game with fairly heavy snow, I think about finding cars in the lot. They're all mounds of white.

We had a guy leaving work one night after it had snowed most of the day. He kept coming back in cause he couldn't get his key in the door. It wasn't his car.

It was another employees big wagon, both brown, but all you could tell by looking was their was a brown wagon under the snow.

That's how they found mine....the guys asked which car was mine, and I told them the one with the funny looking 4 foot radio antenna stuck in the middle of the trunk....when you get to the license plate it's N4EZV.....

have you ever driven in heavy snow areas?

No, we get a dusting here (2" or less) a few times a year. So I've driven in that, it was of no real concern.....it's fine, there's less traction and you just have to plan (and look) a bit further ahead.
We do get ice patches here in some places on a frosty morning....that can be lethal.

I've driven over Donner Pass in the middle of the night in a snow storm...couldn't find the road or see more than a few feet ahead. a snow plow passed me and I got right up behind him so I could see his lights and never stopped until we got to a lower, safer elevation... Heavy snow up in the mountains can be scary...especially if one happens to know the story of the Donner party...

.....which isn't a problem if you're driving alone.
:D


However, if you were driving over a mountain pass in the dark and had to be back home in the morning and you saw snowflakes in the headlights beam, you might proceed to drive as fast as was reasonably possible to beat the weather, all the time saying to your passenger "That's not a snowflake, that wasn't a snowflake either, it's not snowing"......and your passenger (still a good friend even after everything) will still remember the trip over the Southern Alps some years later.
