.... wish I had that yesterday. Over 40cm of snow. City late plowing my
small, dead end street, my accord "rode up" onto the snow and there went
the traction. Dug it out and put it back in the driveway. City didn't
come until 15:15. There went the work day (I did do some phone work,
but it ain't the same). In any case, at the end of my street they left
a 3 - 4 foot hard packed bank. The CR-V would have done okay, but not
the Accord.
