You're gonna need explosives to remove that plow bank if you let it set! |

There can be something enjoyable about that kind of experience, once you accept that things are beyond your control, so you may as well make the best of it.
I felt that way when there was a widespread power outage for 3 or 4 days due to a massive ice storm many years back. This part of the world came to a halt. |

Yesterday I was driving behind a not-a-cube-van-but-bigger type of truck going up a steep overpass and it slowed and chugged to a complete halt just before cresting the hill. I changed lanes and went past, but I assumed it was cold-related.
I've been seeing lots of tow trucks giving jump starts and flatbeds taking cars away, too.

Explosives...
My thought was a flame thrower. And start on the downhill side so it drains away.

It's all because the autostarts didn't work!

It's not quite as cold here. Was all the way up to +20f today but has been +/- 10f from 0 for the last week and supposed to be around -12f in a few days. My mileage sucks!

Here up north at 52 latitude... 12 Celsius is expected for the weekend. PLUS 12.
But I'm prepared.
Got me a brand new uke. Aloha.
