Doing something stupid then admit

Sometimes you have to drop a dime on yourself when you screw up.
Over the last two days here in my part of the " Great White North " we received 50cm or bout a foot and a half of snow. No big, snow thrower gone.
Now here`s the dumb part. There was about 6 or 8 in on the drive. The machine was acting up a bit and room is tight in my race shop that`s attached to my house. Most call it a garage. So back the car out and service the machine.Machine out then car back in right.
So I back the car out it`s rolling out fine about 10 feet then it quits. It`s dash lights are flashing like a Vegas slot. Hmmm, weird. Try to re-fire nothing flash flash. Now even the tip gear ind. light is flashing from P to 5. Feck !
Out of the car for a walk around and inspection. It seems it injested some some snow up my tailpipe. I thought it was air intake. I have a CAI but. I tried to re-fire but it was running out the battery.
Charger on let it sit. I knew if it sucked water or the CPS was askew I would need to continue to roll it over , let it sit , continue.
It worked ! That 143000 km 99 started. I knew it would but.
Lesson learned. Back into my garage. And Porsche cars a test of fortitude.
