When I left the house preparing to drive to work, I found that an overnight massive blizzard had left a snowdrift that completely covered the car. I walked the mile or two through the continuing snow storm to get to work, where I remained for three days.
When the snow finally stopped and I was able to get home again I wielded a snow shovel and a broom for some time in order to dig out the rear of the car and access to the interior through a passenger door. Then I started it and just backed it out of the drift. A large portion of the snow clung to the top of the car as I drove slowly down the streets. It must have been quite a sight.
You can read more about the blizzard here. This is why I now live in Arizona!
By the way, there's a clue in the photo to my upcoming Throwback Thursday picture.

Read the link, sounds like quite the storm.
The taillights look like a '64 or '65 Impala. Not a ragtop I hope.
No, it was a hardtop and frankly I can't remember what year it was.
Is the hint you ham liscence?
Whoa! (By the way - you're a winner!)
In 1966 I was fourteen and had only seen snow once. I'm posting about it tomorrow.
It's a '64. My parents had one...blue as I recall...with a 283 V-8. It would go 0-60 in September. Good times!

We never have to shovel sunshine.
That does look very cold. I remember getting up in the morning, putting on boots and a big fuzzy robe, heading out side to start the car and then letting the car run while I showered and got dressed for work. By then, the car was warm and the snow had pretty much melted off. Of course, gas was only 29cents a gallon at that time.
Prescott had a snow storm like that about that same year, I think. So it wouldn't have helped to be here.
What a sight!
I would not have guessed for the licence plate. Here at the time they started by F1 ou F6 (for morse code)...
