    You might try pouring clay cat box filler under the tires - maybe that will give it some "grip" and get it unstuck. (Is unstuck a word?)

    I dont have any kitty litter, but I do have ashes from the woodstove. We are going to try that.. But its pretty stuck- and too heavy to have his truck pull it out either.. ( mutter mutter- had to take the new van- just had to take it... mutter mutter- kicking ice balls- had to take it.. He just tossed some of that calcium stuff on it- but he said no popping- usually it pops when you put it down- so it must be too cold to work..

    OH NO!!!! Men! Wadda ya gunna do wit em????

    Sounds typical! He HAD to take the newer car!

    Hope you get "unstuck" soon!

    ***We only got 8 inches of snow here, but the blowing made drifts up to 5 foot in some areas! I was literally snowed in yesterday. The blowing snow had created a drift so large that I couldn't open my front screen door. When I tried to get out the back door, I could open the sliding glass door, but the sliding screen door had too much snow in the track, and wouldn't budge. I finally was rescued mid-afternoon! And then the snow plow came through this morning before I left for work, and plowed in my car! I just can't win!

    I made it to work today, and hope to take some pictures tonight before it gets too dark. I will try to post them tomorrow!

    Oh man.....I feel for you.....that was my story for being 2 hours late to work this AM.....my hubbies Sunfire stuck in our driveway. It took 2 hours to try to free it from the snow/ice bank it was stuck in.....then it was time to try to get my car up the driveway....

    I so feel for you.

    If his truck has 4 wheel drive, why dont' you use that to pull it out?
