Damn odd shaped house and garage causing snow drift 3-5 feet and it still hasn't stopped. 2 months and counting for better weather.

I got stuck in an unplowed lane on a secondary highway about two hours ago. White out conditions, 15mph with one lane open in what would normally be 3 lane 45mph limit. I thought I could pass some traffic that was turning left from the wrong lane and put my 3rd gen f-body up into the unplowed lane and got stuck halfway in. I couldn't turn the wheel there was so much snow in the wheel well. I was frantically pulling snow out from behind the front wheels so I could get unstuck. I was running away from the car as traffic approached, in case someone hit the car. Eventually got it out (by myself), then got stuck pulling in my driveway. I tried getting a running start but only got half way. It took about an hour of shoveling to get my car out of the street.

Hopefully the snow will keep any Planes or buses from going to Texas and the Packers get stuck in WISCONSIN. That wAy they'll forfeit the SuperBowl

But my baby is right behind that mound!!!! It took me 3.5 with a blower!!! But it was fun and the kids are loving it.




Taking it deep all the damn time! Lol
