02/24/2005: "Snow"

It's been snowing for the past couple of days. A little earlier I had to go out in the car to get some food for the coming weekend when I shall be at a boardgames convention (perhaps more on that later).

So, getting into the snow covered car, I used the wipers to clear front and back screens and then followed my usual process (to clear light frost) of winding the side window down and up to clear it.

Bad idea. I watched as the wall of snow which was leaning against the window became a wall of snow that was no longer being supported. It then waited a split second for me to register the uh-oh factor before collapsing inwards and covering me with snow. So I then had to spend the next few minutes brushing the snow off me and out of the car before it all melted. Doh!

Don't you hate it when that part of your brain that says "If I do this, then that will happen" doesn't cut in until just after you've "done this"?
