So what did I do friday morning? I woke up in complete darkness awaken by a huge tree limb falling on a power line and starting a big rukus in my neighborhood. Disoriented I sat around until sunrise until I could get a good look at what was happening outside…
It looked like a nuclear wasteland almost every tree was split in half with the weight of the wet and heavy snow. I hear my neighbors trying to get out of the driveway with no avail. At this point the snow had slowed to the point that I was able to go outside without getting burried in snowy wetness.
I step outside only to see a lexus RX330 struggling to get out of the parking space. My neighbor apparently was really determined to get somewhere. It took him literally 30 minutes to back out. Only to get stuck at the end of the driveway.
I clean the 2 feet of snow off my car. Luckily our area did not get hit as bad as some other areas. I realize that my Azenis were still mounted on my car.
SHIT. Looks like Im gonna have to swap them out If I want to get ANYWHERE today. I start digging a trench around my car so that I had room to swap into my blizzaks. It took me a good 30 minutes of heavy digging to move the snow from around my car so that I had room to change the tires.
I swapped the tires within the next 45 minutes in 2 feet of snow and I attempt to warm up inside only to realize that my heat does not work. So what do I do…
Subie and I decided to play… I honestly did not know how far I would get given that the lexus did not make it out of the driveway. The rest of the day is history as I drive around for 3 hours to assess the damage and realize lexus AWD= useless.
I now sit at home cleaning up pounds of spoiled food from my fridge, sifting through the wet stuff in my basement glad that I have power. Waiting for my FEMA handout :lol:
