Amy Brown tried to break her car free of an encasement of ice Tuesday to no avail.

With nothing but time on her hands, she took another crack at it Wednesday.

It took some de-icer and some heavy scraping.

After about 10 minutes, she was in the driver's seat.

With kitty litter under the tires... I did it!

So now that she can get out, what are her big plans?

I'm going to pull the car right back into the driveway, go back inside and have a bowl of chili.

Below freezing temperatures remain in Kentucky's forecast through the weekend.
