Default I think I need a bigger ice scraper...
I've come home to a car that might need a bit of window scraping to clear the snow, but this time was a bit more on the ridiculous side.

(used the broom to crack the ice shell, so I could brush the snow off underneath. It is not what it looks like)

Awesome pic! It took me many years (20) to get out of that weather! Now today, my daughters went swimming in their swim suits today in La Jolla. I don't miss it!

Now that's a pic of a happy and content 911, just like a kid who can't wait to play in the snow!
