While looking at the newest car in my fleet during this snowstorm (14"!) I noticed the wind was sweeping across the parking lot, over the hood almost directly head on.

The rear glass/trunk area is a near perfect Kamm of snow. Instantly, I thought of grabbing my tape measure and camera for some math to ponder later.

TL;DR?
Get lots of snow. Shape as desired. Measure perfectly. Build once.

That's cool to see a natural wind tunnel! I wonder if I could fiberglass over snow..

I'm finished my exams now and going to get rolling on this over my break.

I finished my exams and cannot help but think that I need to study something. I already have my books for next semester!

I still need to buy some of my books for next semester. Luckily my Physiology book and the textbook for BioChem carry over from first semester and last year. The BioChem book was $247 new! I got it used for $100, so I'm glad to get more than 3 months out of it.

I am not taking Bio 202, but I am taking Anatomy and Physiology for Speech, Language, and Hearing, which is my nearly $175 book--used!

I already read the first chapter, but between trying to fix [minor things on] my car and my nephew wanting to spend time with me, I have not been able to accomplish more.

I know what you mean. Trying to see everyone for christmas and finish all the little things going on have taken up more time than I expected. I really have to try and stay more on top of my reading this semester. I have a lot of respect for you for starting already!
