The only exit out of the entire apartment complex. There are another couple of big pickups with 4 wheel drive and really big snow tires. Also, they got out early when the snow was not as warm. The parking directly ahead (at the Sunflower market) had been plowed (barely). That's where I eventually parked my truck. See the greenish SUV on the right side of the picture? He tried ALL day long to get out. ALLLL DAY. See how far he had to backup to get to the place where people had already gone? 6-8 feet? After 8 hours of work with a shovel (and, yes, he had 4 wheel drive) he managed to get out. Warmish, heavy snow.
