She told WWGP-AM that , but they informed her nothing could be done until the snow melted because there simply wasn't anywhere to put it.

"I’m usually a positive person, but ," she told the Boston Globe, adding that the situation drove her to tears a couple of times."I just felt helpless."

Tenen also told WWGP that she works at a hotel just a few blocks from her home, so she was able to walk to her job every day while her car was encased in its wintry cocoon.

When she finally dug the car out of the snow pile, she found a broken vehicle. The windshield had partially caved in under the weight of the snow and ice, and her roof was dented multiple times, the Globe reported. But the news wasn't all bad. Tenen's Civic still started once she finally got to the bottom of the snow pile.

Tenen, who moved from Florida two years ago, attempted to remove the packed, frozen mess from her car on several occasions, but she told the Globe the consistency of the snow was like an iceberg. She received a helping hand from several friends, but in the end, it took Tenen hours of chipping away the ice to finally free her car.
