System failure!

We've finally started to thaw, so snow is rapidly becoming watery and slushy. Yay! But the kids created these gi-normous snowmen the other day; I took pictures of them and...my memory card died! The snowmen already fell over. Oh well. 

Another victim of the weather: we went out yesterday in Jason's car. It's a modified VW GTI lowered with high profile tires, so it basically has no clearance underneath. He was driving over some hideous snow drifts and kept, like, surfing over them. Finally last night, when we were on our way to friends' house for dinner, we turned a corner and heard an ungodly grinding/scraping noise. We parked it in a parking lot (and the friend provided chauffeur service). Turned out it was some obsolete protective stuff that he's been systematically taking out the hard way via speed bumps, and now, snow. It was hanging off the undercarriage by one bolt.

Last (hopefully), but not least, when he went to try to get my car out of the garage, the battery was dead. It's the original battery, but still, heck of a time to die, dude. Sigh....
