I gotta say, I am impressed!

Most of you already know this but I deliver pizza, and this car is heaven on wheels. Not only does it look great, work great, and feel great, I only fill up ever 6 or 7 days, not two to three times a week!!! Have I said already I love my Gloria? LOL!

Anyway, over the last several days Northern Indiana has gotten hit pretty heavily with snowfall, there is at least a foot in some places, up to two feet in a few more. With all this snow, plowing has been non-stop. That's where my recent challenges have cropped up. I drive a LOT of secondary and residential streets, including rural areas, some of which actually do get plowed. The bad part of this is that plowed snow is everywhere, across streets, across driveways, everywhere. Parking is a nightmare because plowed snow piles up next to the curbs, narrowing the streets, so through traffic is much more difficult.

Now, here is where I am impressed. I've gotten caught in these snow berms plenty of times, and with determination and a lot of time can usually get out using rocking technique. This was when I had my Corollas. Now, on the other hand, my Prius is radically different. Most of the time it just plows right through, with the skidding car light flashing of course, but usually it gets through, even dense snow. A few times I got completely stopped, but with a modified rocking am usually out and through within a minute, maybe two. I wonder if the bag of kitty litter and shovel will even see use this year!
