Default Blizzard halts project EK in Colorado

Well we had a neat little blizzard here in the Denver area. I was working on some wiring issues, NIGHTMARE!!!T%$@G$@#, until the snow started to fall.

Luckily I swapped the project civic into the driveway and got my other running car into the garage. I however did not remember to close the windows on my project car and it got about 3inches in it before I noticed, good thing I noticed early as we ended up with about 2-3feet of snow.

Onto the pics.
Me in a snowdrift in my backyard. The snow was really up to my knees but here it drifted up to my chest. In other places against fences and houses it was drifted over my head.


My wifes car and my white EK safe in the garage, but obviously not going anywhere


And the project silver EK in the driveway, even if it had an engine or interior or anything this sucker would not be going anywhere


And lastly here is the rx7 stuck in the front yard, RWD = Definitely not going anywhere!


Thanks for looking.

I guess I should also note, these were early morning on day one. I don't have any more pictures after this as I was digging hard all day. Anyway this was about 9am in the morning, it snowed all the rest of that day and until about noon the next, so we got nearly another foot or 2 before it was all said and done.

I wish!!! I had to dig. I manage a 24/7 help desk so I had to get the hell to work to replace my coworkers who had been working 48shifts because they were stuck at work while I was stuck at home.

I have snow tires, actually the snow tires on my white car are kind of why I have my SI wheels and b16 and all my other SI parts. Some fool was driving too fast in his SI with snow tires on a dry road and ended up flipping his car. I bought the rolled SI and swapped it all onto my car, snow tires included :D

my young neighbors tunneled through it. Actually this snow kind of sucks for such things, its too dry. Cant even make snowballs out of it.

We need know like the blizzard of '03, it was nice wet and heavy, except that it crushed hundreds of carports at my apartment complex then, ssoooooo lucky my car was not under it at the time.
