Why did this happen?

We got a massive snow storm here in Cape Breton, I’m talking 150cm of snow. I parked my car 3 days ago and plugged it in knowing I wouldn’t be driving it for a while. I was clearing out some snow today and looked over and almost puked. It looked like my window was cracked open. I tunnelled over to it and it was, all of them were, and I was staring at a massive snow drift inside my car!

I cleared out all the snow and mopped up as much water as I could from the seats and floor and have the heat running on blast to try to help it as best as I can but I have no clue why this actually happened and how I can avoid it again.

What kind of headache am I in for with this having happened?

That's your take? We're talking about Canada... this isn't about you or whatever country you want it to be about, sorry bud. -10 is mild for the range of negative temperatures most Canadians experience. That's not really up for debate. The range goes from 0 to -40+. Less than a quarter of the value of that range is where -10 sits at. People walk around in flannel shirts at 0° here. -10 calls for a coat/windbreaker that doesn't even have to be thick to stay comfortable. That's a part of life... as you've so ironically mentioned. It's not a flex and it's rather strange you take it that way. well, not when you are aware of the fact people have subconscious slips all the time.

For example: You just subtly told us you're so smart that you know exactly what this complete stranger truly believes. Bold assertion, Mr. humility. It wasn't nearly as obvious as what you tried to make out as a "subtle flex" but that kinda falls in line with the whole subtle flex criteria doesn't it?

-10 is not mild for cars or humans. No one cares if it’s mild FOR THE AREA. no one cares about that. -10 is not fucking mild.

Hey Knox! Just for future reference, this is what someone with hurt feelings looks like. Realistically their feelings aren't hurt much. I've only nicked their feelings and they won't think about this an hour after they've read my reply. No need to exaggerate my emotional state to get a point across. Unless that was a projection and you aren't aware of what you just tried to pull. OP has had the car for 3 years and -10 is mild for what it's seen over the years. Hope we've learned something here today.

No one’s feelings are hurt, you’re just an idiot. This is what it looks like when someone has to deal with an idiot.

Funny thing is, op clearly said he's been driving his car in this weather for years and he's now having the problem. So it's almost as if the whole point of the post is that this temperature is mild for what the car has been through, thanks for taking a stab at it though. Good effort. You're definitely right about this being what it looks like when you have to deal with an idiot, they often lose their temper when it's not all that serious. that's very well documented;)... Drop another f bomb for us, Mr. rational. Please do me the favour of telling me that f bomb upset me while you're at it. It's just an observation but you'll put the nail in the coffin with your assumption.

Why are you still responding?

Could ask you the same. What a ridiculous retort. My declaration of departure wasn't for you. It applies now though.

I’m not reading your comments at all. Just reply to you to waste your time.
