Des Moines had its second significant storm of the season
Tuesday night / Wednesday morning. The one in December dropped 12 inches. See here for my post about the last one.
The one this week dropped 5 inches. The good news is that the state and
local DOT's didn't bungle up their response to it this time like they did in
December. It doesn't matter how good the response is, I still always
manage to get accumulation on the underside of my car.
I like to kick the snow and ice that builds up behind my car's tires. I know I shouldn't because it is possible the built up accumulation will take with it a part of the wheel well, but I don't care. It does a couple things for me. It allows me to take tight corners without the wheels scraping against the snow, giving me better handling. It also allows me to get out any aggression that I might have. Sometimes you have to kick fairly hard. I find it satisfying when I get that plop of snow waste to fall to the ground. When I do it in a parking stall it is even better. This is because I then get to back over the snow waste on my way out, smashing it to smithereens. Take that! That's what you get for gumming up my wheel well.
