Every once in a while it just hits you...
and you realize you've got shit for brains. At least it works that way for me.

I just realized that my brand-new ice scraper is sitting in my living room next to my chair. And it's been snowing for the past four hours at least.

Fuck.

:eyes:

1. At least you know where it is.
First snowstorm every year, I have no fucking idea where mine is.

5. This is the second one...first one I couldn't find it
so I replaced it. The replacement's at home. I'm not.

Heh...the first night I needed it was a nightmare. That was the night I landed on my ass in the parking lot climbing in through the very, very back and then got locked out of my car.

2. I don't get the problem... Do you need to drive tonight?
Edited on Wed Nov-29-06 02:00 AM by Omphaloskepsis
Why scrape if more snow is coming? Or are you sitting in your car with a laptop and Wifi?


edit -- Or you could be at work.. Never mind..

11. Could you boil some water...
to pour on the windshield? Maybe run it through the coffee maker.. That should melt the ice..

3. Uh oh!
I've had those moments too.

Hope you don't have to scrape too much ice, maybe just snow.

7. Shouldn't be much in the way of ice...
rarely is. And at least the snow around here's USUALLY pretty dry. We'll see in about 20 minutes, though.

9. That's good.
We get much more ice than snow here. I hate it. In fact they are forecasting an ice storm for tomorrow night. :scared:

Be careful out there & stay warm. :)

4. i managed to lose my ice scraper/snow brush thingy
yes, i lost something that comes out of the car only the scrape ice off said car and then goes right back into the car.

that would have really sucked tonight but thank gods my dad stopped by work to drop some dinner off for me and happened to have an extra.

8. Someone'll probably have one...
but when I got locked out of my car the last time, it was by a well-meaning person who was helping me scrape.
