My car, like all the other cars in my area, was under almost 3 feet of snow. I knew it would take a couple of hours to free it, so I took an uber to the pharmacy and back to pick up some medication. I pulled the shovel out of the storage shed when I returned, the snow is just gonna get harder, heavier, and wetter the longer I waited. Took about 90 mins of non-stop work to get rid of enough snow to move the car in and out of the spot, plus there was about 18 inches of snow covering the car itself, like a poorly frosted cake. In Chicago, there is an unofficial rule that if you take the time and effort to dig out your parking spot, you can put lawn furniture in said spot to keep it as your own for a few weeks. The mayor usually backs this practice and gives a date by which you have to move the furniture or the city tosses it. It was nice to see many other folks digging out their cars and a lot of lawn furniture keeping spots. If someone dares to move your chairs and parks in your spot, chances are they are going to come back to a fucked up car (keyed, tail lights kick in, etc..), so that rarely happens. Lord knows I've fucked up my share of cars for violating this policy. Anyway, I have a lot of weed to deliver tomorrow, so I'm glad I got this done. Plus, I won't have to work out tonight, as that was plenty of exercise. Now I just have to find my lawn chairs...
Tried them out for a 10 mile spin watching Netflix.
