It’s not that I can’t afford a brush, I just get tired of it after 15 inches. I said in the first such thread of the season that I try to get every bit off, but I think I lied because after three storms in four days, I’d say I get 80% off.

I have enough trouble with tailgaters when it’s warm and sunny out. I’ll be damned if I’m going to wipe away what little deterrent Ma Nature has given me.

And when I’m driving along the road in the opposite direction with no way to avoid your wall of Snow Deterrent, I’m just collateral damage…?

A couple winters ago I actually saw a guy get pulled over into the bus stop across from my house and ticketed for not clearing off his car. It was a beautiful sight. Wish I’d taken pictures.

Snow? What’s that?

It’s getting down to 37[sup]o[/sup] tonight…I’ll have to see if Ivylad will let me turn on the heater. He’s a damn polar bear…he loves it when it gets chilly.

37 here too. Celsius, though. 😃

clear snow off the windshield? Who needs to see? I’ve got GPS and cruise control - I just set my speed and destination, then climb into the back seat for a nap. Isn’t technology wonderful?
