Another 3 or so inches came down last night. Yesterday, when I left work, my car was encased in a not-so-thin layer of ice. Which would be cool if the car had fallen into a ravine and was to be unearthed 500 years from now. I mean, this layer of ice sealed all the freshness in, and kept me the hell out.
Took me about 15 minutes to clear off enough of the car so I could drive it home, which wasn't much better as the roads had the same preservative layer applied to them.
And my wipers suck. Why is the first place that wears out directly in front of my view? Don't tell me that's not a conspiracy. Last night, the freezing rain or ice or Three-Fifths Sign of the Apocalypse that was coming down formed a nice, solid case over the wipers that made them even less affective. I had to pull over twice just to clear them off enough to see. For long portions, I just couldn't. Which is a perfect recipe for sending my insurance premiums skyward. Snow, sleet, frozen ground and my view is like driving thru a waterfall.
So this morning I had to shovel out the driveway again and Tine never backs her car in, so I had to excavate it from her ice wrap as well. And the wipers still don't work, in fact when I started them, they just stopped. Another pull-to-the-side-of-the-road-and-hope-I-don't-get-run-down moment. Ice forms under the base and has to be chiseled out. Of course it's impossible to see until you try to run the wipers.
I'm so sick of snow. I am so fucking sick of shoveling it.
This winter sucks.
