By December 27th, the slow thaw was well underway and the roads were mostly clear. The giant pile of snow that had engulfed my car had mostly melted. What was left was being held together by the layer of ice left by freezing rain nearly a week earlier. The slight slope of the parking lot caused the remaining sheet of snow to slide toward the front passenger side corner, leaving the driver's side free of snow and giving the car a "two-faced" look.

The layer of ice hung over the side of the car by several inches, leaving a large ledge at the hood.

Thanks to the layer of ice from the freezing rain, as the snow melted from this bush, it almost looked like it had been manicured.
