Also, if the power goes out, the garage isn't easy to open - you've got to yank an emergency release on the garage-door opener.
On the other hand, if I leave the car outside next to the kitchen door, it's on level ground and all set to blast right out, but I'll have to sand-blast the ice off the car before I can drive it.
I'm just hoping we skate (pun not intended) and don't get much ice. They're saying this won't be anything like last winter's ice storm, but then I notice they're not saying this quite as loud now.

Oh, our roads were clear as well...and that's what get's my goat. I even went out and shoveled around ours and all the neighbors mailboxes, just so the little candy asses wouldn't have any excuse for non-delivery.
It's really not about -getting- mail. It's the principle of the whole damn thing...and not to make a world class issue of it, but it's kind of indicative of this "can't do" attitude that seems to be becoming so common. It just seems that instead of finding a -way- to get something done, some folks are looking for an excuse for NOT getting things done.
That is my curmudgeonly rant for the day.
