DH and I have decided we're not using the car until the snow melts rather than deal with digging it out. Our laziness knows no bounds
My mistake was putting the car in the garage. Then we had to shovel the entire driveway.
We made this mistake once when we first moved into our house. Since then, we've learned to park our car at the very end of the driveway, and we clear out just enough space to get it out, and let the rest melt on its own.
