Well the roads weren't that bad but it took me about 20 min of warming up the car and 15 min of scraping to get all the ice off my car. Then I got to the shop and I had to move 5 cars so the lot could be plowed well 2 had just been dropped off so I just drove them in the other 3 however needed the same amount of scraping my car did... yay... Now my jeans are soaked my toes are cold and wet and my sweat shirt is damp. But the good news is I might still be getting my iPhone today! No luck on the lunch date though. I saw a tree fall down while I was cleaning off my car made me really want to get my car the hell out of there haha. Also have heard like 4 firetrucks over all this morning.

Haha, you guys are funny. We didn't have that much ice, and by the time I woke up it was already melted off from the regular rain we got, but the roads are still a slushy mess and it's pretty foggy outside.

There were already 3 cars take that! haha. My mom's Miata, Dad's CJ w/ his plow on the front and our Subaru SVX that my mom is driving for the winter. Then there's a canoe in there a Shopsmith, a few bikes, a washer and drier that aren't even ours, and way too much garbage. I think there were good reasons for it not fitting.
