Why the snowplow driver didn't get to the snowplow

[drew at scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (Drew MacPherson)]

Abuse?  What abuse?  She's loving it.  For the past 5 days she's had a 
snow-beard from ploughing out the lane.  Unfortunately I made a bad 
judgement call on this run - mistaking the concrete for the soft fluffy 
stuff.

I had a helluva time forcing that big-assed door open though - there is 
something to be said for getting a four door stuck in the snow - you don't 
have quite as much snow to push to get out of the car to get the shovel 
from the trunk.

The fog lamps burn through the snow... eventually... :)
