I woke up before everyone else and rather than go read in the bathroom (to keep the hotel room dark) I decided to go start the car and let it warm up. I knew there was no icescraper (from previous mornings, when frost was the only issue) but I figured I could let the defrosters handle the ice if I gave it long enough. Well, I got out there and saw how bad it was...I couldn't even get the doors open. I finally managed to pry the passenger side open, so I crawled in, started her up, and alternated sitting in the car reading with getting out and attacking the loosening ice. It was actually kind of fun--and I could have gone back inside and found my other glove, but I liked toughing it out.
I had the car halfway freed by the time other guests starting coming out to tackle theirs, and I was able to dispense advice such as try the doors on the southward side; they have less ice freezing them. It was an adventure. When I was about 80% done my Dad came by with his car, and lent me a scraper.
