So this being our 1,015th big storm this winter, I've kind of gotten used to it. I left for a job this morning in heavy snow, massive wind, etc. Surprisingly, the roads weren't as bad as I'd assumed and I had some time to kill on the way. So I pulled into a Meijer gas station to fill up. Like most gas stations, this one has a large roof over the pumps. But with the wind and huge wet snowfall, all of the pumps had snow all over them. Screens were illegible, buttons were covered with snow, pump handles had snow all over them, even the credit card reader was packed with snow. And this wasn't just the pumps facing the incoming wind, but rather, all of them were like this. Then I looked into the fuel nozzle at the pump I was at, and It was packed with snow! Several others were like that, too, and at minimum, all pump nozzles had water along the filling neck. So I got back in and drove away, fearful of getting water into the tank. Thing is, the station was pretty busy. Are all those people in for a nasty surprise soon when their car starts stumbling?
I've never seen this before.
