So I got home this evening at about 10 PM and find my driveway covered in snow.  I decided that it would be a good idea to shovel it out then rather than in the in the morning.  I got my roommate to help and we shoveled it all out in about 20 minutes.  Now, for reference, my driveway is a decent size (about 60 feet by 30 feet).  All done, we trudged inside and warmed up - happy in the knowledge that our drive would be clear for about an hour until the snow-gods threw it all back again.

After a few minutes indoors I remembered that I needed to make a phone call.  I reached into my coat pocket where I had placed it before and couldn't find it.  I looked in my room and my car but to no avail.  I had my roommate call it again and again but it was nowhere to be found.  The encouraging thing is that it was ringing and not going straight to voicemail - so where-ever it was, it was on.  

I then took a flashlight and went outside in the hopes I found find it.  After looking all up and down the driveway I was ready to give up.  Frustrated, I kicked a snowbank where I had been piling snow earlier.  In a lull in the howling wind, I heard a faint noise....my ringtone! Coming from the snowbank!  Frantically, I drove at the snowbank and started digging.
"I'm coming!" I shouted and furiously tried to dig towards the noise.  Finally, I located the direction it was coming from and dug deeper.  

After about 30 minutes out in the wet snowy cold, my cellphone emerged safe and functional.
