Enough winter already

I love New England. I came home last night and parked in the driveway because I was feeling lazy. And it was a warm night, no precipitation forecast, no problem, right?

Wrong. Some time last night, thanks to the lovely heat wave we're having this weekend, a very large chunk of ice departed my roof. So I came out this morning to find that I no longer have a rear passenger side window, as well as having a largish dent on the edge of my car roof.

I'm just glad that there was no one in it at the time, and that it was my car and not some unsuspecting guest.

So I called my insurance this morning, and so far I'm impressed. I have an appointment with an adjustor first thing Tues. morning, and they assure me that all the work can be done in the same shop here in town, with payment going directly to the shop so I don't have any out of pocket while they pay the claim, and a rental car office right there on site. So, while this isn't exactly convenient, it does seem like it's going to be minimally inconvenient. Meanwhile I'm going to let Beth drop me at work tomorrow so I don't have to drive around with the classic trash bag taped over the window.
