Yup. So... sick... of... shoveling. And I'm norwegian, it's kind of built into my genes.

It didn't help that I had a station wagon that was RWD with almost no weight in the rear axle. Driving it was like that Bambi on ice scene. And due to a slight inclination and a sharp turn to get into my driveway, parking in the winter was a special skill that involved a 4-wheel skid.

Anyway, last summer I bought a new car, an AWD SUV, built for the climate, and with a defrost/prepared timer. It was amazing. I was actually looking forward to winter; All I needed to do was to ensure I could physically enter the car. And this winter, due to an abnormally dry and warm winter, there's almost no snow. Whomp whomp.
