My cousin Vincent, a fellow inventor/maker, just purchased a CNC router and shared some visual simulations of the machine in operation. He cannot set up or use the machine until he moves a car out of his garage. My desire to see the tool in action prompted the following excerpted messages:

Vincent:

Anyway, that’s what I’m chomping through these days. When the snowbank behind the garage melts, we can move the Nissan out, organize the garage, and make a home for the CNC router. 

Carl:

They have a tool now called a shovel. Some are even designed for use with snow. Perhaps you could use such a tool to make space for the Nissan now rather than waiting for the Earth to get closer to the sun.

Vincent:

It seems the entire population adjoining the alleyway behind the garage has conspired to move all their snow, waist-high I might add, to the place where the Nissan needs to go. Since the snow came weeks ago, it has now frozen into a virtually immovable mountain. 

Could it be moved, it could be set afloat in the ocean as a small but impressive iceberg. Failing free access to explosives or a flame thrower, it will have to wait while I investigate this shovel tool you speak of…

Carl:
