One day I'll be able to look back at this and laugh

So we are pulling an all nighter here at work trying to get a major IT system deployed in the middle of a decent (6-7") snowstorm.

5am rolls around and we decide it's time to make a run for starbucks. So I went down to the car to fire it up, and you know that handy feature where you can hold the unlock button and it will roll down your windows? Well I must've sat on my keys funny because I found my car sitting there with the windows all open and a full 2" of snow coating the interior.

Anyway, I cleaned out the drivers seat and pulled it into our warehouse where we got most of the rest of it out. Now my car is sitting running to try to evaporate some of what was left. Right now everything appears to work in the car, hopefully nothing breaks over the next few days.

I haven't driven it anywhere, but after 45 minutes of having the heat cranked and the AC running the car has pretty much dried out. So far everything seems fine.

At least your car canopy didn't collapse and crush your hood! I officially hate snow.

LMAO!!! atleast I'm not the only one that have done this. Left mine in a middle of a thunderstorm. Car was flooded and shop vac couldn't take all the water out. I had to get it detailed afterward. Car was ok, I guess our car is water proof
