I'm stuck in the driveway. This absolutely indicates that I need snow tires, and, in fact, after the AAA guy gets here and we get me out (we might just have to resort to pushing me with two people) I'm going down to Amherst Tire and I'm buying snows. This is ridiculous!
And of course we didn't get plowed after the snowstorm because it "wasn't deep enough"... never mind that the real problem is the ice. Dad could get out this morning, but he has a truck that is a lot heavier than my little Saturn. Mom and I literally spent about 45 minutes trying to get me out before I said "screw it" and we decided to call AAA. Even if we just have another person to push we'll probably be able to get it out. It's the damn lip at the front of our driveway (it goes up to the road) and the fact that my car is so light that's doing this. If I had more grip on the front tires this would be no problem.
So yeah, screw the day I had planned, I'm going to Amherst Tire as soon as I get out of here. And incidentally, North Carolina is staring to look really appealing...

I got stuck on the road for 8 hour b/c my boss wouldn't let me leave work and it had only snow 1/2 an inch in the middle of the day O_o
