Ice on your miata.
Frankly, this sucks.
Originally this was snow. then freezing rain/sleet fell on it and made the top 1/4 into solid ice. then it thawed and refroze into an even thicker sheet of ice.
Basically I have a perfect mold of the top of my car in ice.
As a fun aside, I did make a nice handbrake U-turn on my street this morning. even the gf thought it was fun.

Im driving with the top down today. Actually it's kind of warm, I may use the A/C on the way home.

Wow. I've seen snow once, and it was just enough to make the ground white. We struggled to make snowballs for about 2 hours and by then it had stopped and all melted. I was five, and they canceled school before it snowed so the kids could go home and play. Glad they did.
EDIT: Correction, I was seven. Like it matters...

hoping to build one with guvmint tax credit for first time homebuyers.
I didn't clean it off when it was still snow-ish.
not unless I have to. so far that means three times ever.
once through the mountains of colorado to get the car here from CA
once to go on a job interview--it was only a light snow
once this month i caught some flurries while the gf was using her own car.
the ice will probably be mostly gone by the time I get home tonight.

I don't drive the Miata when the roads are salty, so it's been stuck in the garage for a while. But it did take me about 15 minutes to remove the ice cocoon from my beater Saturn yesterday morning.
I love those folks who only scrape off their windshield, then head straight for 60+ mph on the beltway, where they proceed to molt the rest of their cocoon into traffic. One truck launched a pretty impressive sheet about 15 feet above his roof.
Bought our house back in July but unfortunately don't qualify for the tax credit as we're not first-time owners. But I can take some solace in the low interest rates we've got now. Signing the papers on our refi tomorrow afternoon.
