My Two Cars

To give an idea of how much snow we have been getting, here is a picture of my two cars in the just-shoveled driveway:



In the rear is my commuting car (tan Audi), and in front is my other car (a 1984 red Alfa Romeo Spider).

Yes, I actually been very diligent about keeping snow off the soft-top of the Alfa.

UPDATE FOR MY COMMENTER:

As you cannot see from the picture posted what I can see first hand, I just took some additional photos.

Also, I measured the thickness of accumulation on top of the soft-top (well, on top of the tarp) - it is less than one inch. This less than one inch accumulation was actually ice from the New Year's Eve storm that I didn't want to try to remove until the weather had warmed to the point that I wasn't at risk of damaging the tarp by removing it. Given the accumulation we have had so far this winter, I do believe I meet the threshold for "diligent".

BTW, today is that day I can remove the ice, as we have finally exceeded freezing, albiet by one degree.

"diligent". I do not think this word means what you think it means.
