Stuck in Snow

Earlier this week, I was wondering if there will be more snow this year; and this weekend we got hit by another snow storm.

My car got stuck in the road when I got back from dinner (Outback - which was dead quiet - which means very good service. There were only a couple tables occupied). I realized something wasn't quite right as soon as the front hood hit the snow. As I was thinking whether my car would make it to the garage door - my car rolled into a stop! Darn - STUCK!

It wasn't snowing too heavily (yet). The main problem is with the wind blowing the snow sideways and piling up on the road leading to my apartment unit. Look like 12 - 18 inches deep. Luckily, I managed to wiggle my way through: Shift to Reverse, Gas, Shift to Drive, Gas, repeat... went outside twice (from the passenger side since I can't get out from the driver's side because of the snow) to clear up some of the snow in front/behind the front wheel. Finally made it through after half an hour or so. I wonder what's the tire damage. :P

There was another car trying to get through as I was pulling into the garage. Hopefully he/she will have better luck since I should already opened a path up.

Yikes!
