I hate the winter because of the cold and the snow.
- When I get up for work it is much earlier than I am comfortable with.
I try to make my getting ready routine as efficient as possible. I Want to be able to sleep in as long as I can before I need to drive to work. I take my shower at night, lay out my clothing right before bed and I have my lunch packed in the fridge. The only thing I really need to do is brush my teeth, pee and change. In the summer I can wake up and can be out of the house in 15 minutes. During the wintertime I need to plan on 30-45 minutes before I leave my driveway. The reason is the snow slows me down. I need to shovel a path to my car. I then have to brush all the snow, scrape the ice and preheat my car before I even get ready. Then I get to brush my teeth, use the bathroom, put on my work outfit and be ready to leave. It is really horrible when there is snow falling down on me and the temperatures are in the negatives. I have thought about getting a snowmelt system. All my problems would be over with this heating system. This combines a boiler and piping that is installed underneath the driveway. The boiler heats warm water that flows through the pipes to warm the driveway to the point where the snow melts. The car sitting on this heating system would be warm as a result. I wouldn’t need to brush off snow or scrape off ice.
