snow update

There have been many great fortifications throughout human history - The Great Wall of Chine, the Belgian fortress of Eben-Emael, the Maginot Line, the Assassin's castle at Alamut, etc. But today they are eclipsed. For the past twenty four hours, snowplows have been periodically running up and down our street, each time piling the snow higher and deeper onto our driveway entrance. Combined with the inevitable thawing and refreezing, it now is a solid block of jagged and jumbled ice approximately three feet high, seven feet deep and blocking the entire ten foot wide entrance. It is impenetrable, and it will not melt until mid-August. For once, I am hoping for a nuclear strike against DC, as I believe that may be what's necessary to break through, certainly conventional weaponry would be worthless against this White Monolith of Defiance.
Now, we all know about crime around here. Well, for the ONLY time in my life, I can leave my cars unlocked and know that they will be here in the morning. Hell, I can leave the doors open, the keys in the ignition, the engine on, and place a huge flashing neon sign on top saying "Free! Come & Get It!", and it wouldn't make any difference. No one can get them out. They might as well be parked on the Moon. Attila's horde couldn't get close to me. It's ridiculous...
