Will you be forced to dig out with a rubber spatula? In the past I’ve had to clear ice from my windshield with a credit card, which froze and cracked due to cold — before I’d finished scraping even. A spatula seems like a better option in a pinch.

I used to carry a flat blade shovel in the trunk of my car. It’s better suited than a snow shovel is to breaking the icy mounds of plowed and driven-through snow along city streets — every year I seem to get stuck at least once, when I’ve parellel-parked and been unable to extricate myself. In fact, I should locate that shovel and put it back in my trunk, now that winter is really here. Along with a big bag of sand, for ballast.

I do hope you get free by next Thursday’s BlogFest….

wowee! great visual–we out here in California are going through a strange LACK of precipitation (even in typically snowy Tahoe in the mountains, let alone the San Francisco bay area), and I watch the behemoth snowfalls on the East with bewilderment and awe.

…and i hope you find a shovel soon.

Haven’t resorted to a credit card before, but my last car still had a cassette player – many a time I had to pull out an empty cassette holder and use it as a scraper. Not the most efficient tool, but it would eventually get things to where I could see.
