Tomb of Ice

For the past five days, we’ve been trying to free my car from it’s tomb of snow and ice generously given to us by the local snow plows. It’s such a funny situation that I had to post a picture about it. This current shot is looking pretty good, but it still won’t budge and has a 12″ deep and 3 foot wide clump of ice stuck around the front wheels. Every once in a while we come out to chip at it a bit more. I heard that we should be getting warmer weather this week. Maybe my car will discover freedom again then.

Update, later in the Evening
Living in the city has it’s advantages! While Colleen and I were chucking away at a little bit more surrounding my car, a guy who takes walks throughout the city saw us, walked back to his house, and came out with an axe! He kindly helped us out a bit. It didn’t do much though and we had to leave for an event before we were able to finish. Hopefully only one more day! It was so busy on the street (noisy too) that we didn’t even get a chance to ask this man’s name. Well, whoever you are…thanks!

Update, January 1, 2004
It’s free! We waited as the temperature warmed up and then it started raining too. By the time we got out to check the car…not a trace of snow anywhere. I’m going to keep a closer eye on those snow plows. :-)
