Has that truck of yours dried out yet?


Yeah, and nice and clean now. Fortunately, it was still below freezing
when I discovered it so it didn't melt. Scooped most of the snow out by
hand, then used a wet/dry vacuum to get the rest.

The window was only open about an inch and a half. I have those plastic
rain deflectors on it and normally can leave the windows cracked open a
bit and rain or snow won't get in. The problem was the wind associated
with the storm - it just blew the snow sideways, then up the window and
into the truck.
A pain, but no harm done.

Years ago, I had a VW Rabbit. Fishing from shore in Tracy, Ca, just over
the hill from me, and is very windy. I am down below the bank, so very
nice, catching a few catfish. Go to leave, and the top of the car is above
ground level and the window is down about 1/2". The field next to the levee
had been plowed not to long before. There is at least 1" of fine dirt on
everything inside the car. Brushed out the dirt as best I could before
going home. Took me a couple of days to get the inside clean again.
