Default Snow in western PA!! tC stays in!

So here in western Pa we usually dont get too much snow. At least where I live.....some places get more and some less. I used to live in Anchorage, Alaska....born there actually....so the snow we have had in the past few years was nothing for me or my tC. But last night they called for snow....alot of it. I said psssh no worries. Boy was I wrong. There is over 2 feet of snow in front of my garage that I shoveled. But didnt shovel the whole driveway because its long and my landlord can very well do it. The snow is anywhere from 8 inches in places to over 2 feet. Something we dont usually see. Well this is like a daily thing in AK almost. But I decided to test out the tC and the new tires. The snow won this battle. Just too much for the tC to handle. Fun though. The snow packs down to easily and basically turns into ice. So when my landlord shovels salt will be put down too just in case. Here is a few pics I took with my cell.

Im in the garage looking out. 2 feet of snow.

tC is trying to push the snow outta the way. Not working well.

Backed up and giving up now.

Back in the garage safe and sound.

Any one else get this much snow? My neighbor doesnt have a garage like me...well you cant even see her car. Its like a mound of snow. I mean if you didnt know she parked where she does you would think its a big pile of snow. Crazy. I usually make fun of people here in Pa cuz they stress about an inch of snow and dont go out....they will stock up on food the night before and then it snows an inch or two. But this time it was bad. Even someone from Alaska says its alot of snow. lol

Well that sux. How did you get stuck? Where? And I see you got out....I dont plan on going any where for another couple hours. But I will head out sooner or later and risk it. I didn't buy tires that were rated like 8.4 in the snow for nothing....

Ya my tC isnt even lowered and i couldnt make it 5 feet out of my garage. lol. Nice I know where thats at. Really stinks not being able to go anywhere or do anything because of some stupid snow. I think I will by me a Tundra soon, lift it, and put some mud/snow tires on it. Then at least I can go places when it snows 2-3 feet. lol

Harrisburg, PA here...I just went to clear off my Chevy Silverado(2500HD RWD), and it was too high for even the truck. I had to get a broom to sweep a path for it to move out of its spot. My back HURTS.
