Yup. There's snow about.

The snow was piled on the Jeep deeper than my hands are wide. The unfortunate thing is that any snow removal tool would be inside the vehicle, and I chose to not wear gloves (which is normal). I took a few quick brushes across the hood and windshield, plopping the wet snow off in a couple sweeps.

Inside I noticed that the window was nearly covered already; the lack of any kind of heat on the window was allowing the snow to stick directly upon impact. A few minutes later this was not the case, and the window was warm enough to melt the snow. I kicked on the part-time 4WD (magic traction!) and I started home (really before the window was so warm).

The trip wasn't so bad. Most people were moving a little slower, but the plows had already been out, and the sun was doing what it could to keep the concrete warm enough. The drive only took a few minutes longer than it does in good traffic.

During the drive, though, the snow had again piled on the hood. Must be really sticky stuff. I backed into the garage and swept the snow off and out the door. The snow had piled to over shoe-height deep (and my shoes are pretty big), and showed no signs of letting up. I took a quick pass with a shovel at the back sidewalk for the dogs, and before I was done, it was already dusted with more snow.

I just went inside to hide.
