What's the use of waiting?

There must be a good story behind this photo. Are they stuck in the snow bank? Did the car run out of gasoline? Is this a selfie to send to mom and dad?

Its a sizable snow bank for sure. Nearly 8 feet?

One is reminded of the "Blizzard of '78" here in New England. Where I was living in Central Mass they got 32 inches of snow. Out at the coast where the powerplant was they got 48"

And one wonders how in the 1930s they managed with the equipment then available - it was a struggle with 4' snow and 1978's equipment.

Forget the brakes, they really don't work. The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
