We drove up to Arnold for the long President's Day weekend to find our vacation house buried in snow and no power. It took me an hour to clear a path for everyone to come inside. The hardest part was driving the 1 or 2 miles into town with downed power lines, abandoned cars, and unplowed roads. The Acura did wonderfully though, and a thoughtful neighbor let us use his driveway until we could get the driveway cleared. John, Janine & their kids joined us that night for candlelight dinner and we ended up enjoying the "survival mode" until power was restored late the second day.
