I parked my car on the street on Tuesday. It was snowing lightly. It snowed several inches, was plowed, then rained, and then froze. It’s now 12 degrees. My car looks like this:
Here’s a close-up of my front wheel.
The huge white triangle? That’s a single piece of ice that I chipped off the windshield. You can’t quite see it, but the ice goes all the way through the wheel to the brake disk. Naturally, when I try to run my car, the wheels don’t spin; they don’t even turn. It also started to smell like gasoline or something within a few seconds, so I immediately turned the engine off.
There is no conceivable way of moving my car. It’s expected to remain sub-freezing until at least Sunday afternoon, and only be barely above freezing then. I’ll be lucky to move this car any time before March.
