So later Saturday night we decided to head over to our friend's house for some chili and fun. (I'm always open for a free, delcious meal, lol!) Our first task was to get our of our parking lot. The snow was deep, but at least it had been plowed once... earlier that day.
The view from our parking stall. The snow is almost to our bumper. (Remember we have a 6" lift and oversized tires!)
The rest of the parking lot. The first car was cleaned off earlier by its owner. The rest are untouched. Snowfalls reached 29 inches in one dump. Notice the snowline almost reaches the top of the car's hood!
Trees were bending under the massive weight. I didn't get a picture, but just down the street one of these fell onto a car. Hope they have insurance!
I know these are difficult to discern, but in the distance there are dark figures walking down the middle of the road. (I know it's because there are no sidewalks, but still is weird.) I love the apocalyptic feeling of Maryland after a snow storm.
What you are looking at here is a snowbank that is keeping us from reaching our destination. The plows had passed the main road leading into the Cechini's subdivision, but they didn't plow their street. The peak of the embankment is higher than our tires! But Joe thinks we can make it. We're pretty sure the snow is lower once we get on the other side (which we later learn is a false assumption). So we decide to opt-in on the 4wheeling adventure...
Our second attempt. We've made a little headway.
Maybe if we just move some of the really high snow and gun it...
And there it is! A big-ol' truck with oversized tires and a 6" lift high centered on the bank! I just had to laugh... and laugh... and LAUGH! One of the snow ploys stopped to watch and giggle at us for awhile too. He didn't get out to help, just wanted to watch.
Eventually Annie and Matt saw us stuck up the road (I wasn't going to call and admit our folly!) and came to help rescue us. Really it left us all in good spirits (so much chuckling).
We eventually freed the truck and created a little parking spot for it before hiking the rest of the way to their house. Chili never tasted so good!!!! We're gonna chalk this one up to creating memories, hehe. I don't think we'll ever forget our Maryland snow day!

CRAZY!
LOVE IT! I am laughing just reading about this experience.
It was awesome! Have to get stuck in the snow at least once. In the end I didn't have to feel too sheepish because we didn't have to get pulled out.
That would have been embarrassing!
WOW that is a crazy amount of snow! Glad you got the truck free:)
