Taking the hotel shuttle to the airport saved some parking money but when we got back there was about 8' of bumper-high snow and ice to remove to reach the plowed part of the lot.  Once we got onto the highway, driving was pretty good and the scenery went from white, to white with plants peeking through, to intermittent ground and snow, to mostly snow-free back in Kennewick.  So the snow playtime we had expected to return to was limited to the parking lot, but it did last more than half an hour.
