Mike that is crazy how your car got stuck like that. Like everyone else I have never seen that happen before. The ice has been pretty bad here too.

Yeah... I'll be parking on the other side of the parking lot tonight

I'm just thankful people were around to help me out. I would have had to call off today if I couldn't get out of my parking space

It would be pretty funny to explain how your car is stuck but not in snow but actually frozen to the ground.

Evening guys.

Interesting drive this morning. One of our major 4-lane freeways wasn't even fully plowed this morning - as in stretches of up to the entire width of the far right and left lanes were still sitting under a foot+ of snow. Paying attention to driving in that scenario was crucial.

We got roughly 17" Sun/Mon, and like Tadd said we're in for more. Overnight tonight we're suppose to get 4" and then tomorrow afternoon another 2". So we're going to be around 2 feet of snow here in the past three days.

So my wife needed to get into some storage bins in the right side of the garage and I couldn't get them out with the m5 parked right next to them, I decided to pull the car out and switch it's position/location in the garage....... Big mistake lol me and my buddies been trying for an hour to get the M5 back in the Garage and its not helping an inch of snow is all that's needed for drag slicks not to grab to anything. It will burn all rubber in the exact position it's in but I won't move lol. Having some beers now with the guys, a beer break never hurts anyone lol.
