Mmm...

That is going to take at least a week or more to melt. Does anyone know how these stations are paired. If I remember correctly, the 4 on the right are sharing with the 4 on the left??? If so, not a huge deal.

The other good thing is, since the opening of Blaine, this location is not as busy anymore

Correct.

For what its worth, I went to the Marriott site and filed a complaint about this. Probably just a contractor moving the snow out of the hotel parking lot at 3 in the morning and this is where they picked to dump it.

I keep coming back to this picture and keep shaking my head.

As do I.

Planning a trip in a couple weeks through some "snow" country and will be really pissed if I encounter blocked chargers due to piled up snow.

Shouldn't be a big deal. It will all melt soon.

As of 30 minutes ago:

@PLUS EV must have meant Elon "soon".

This supercharger is literally "iced". Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Here is the reply I got back from Marriott Customer Care:
Thank you for your comments, as a Tesla owner myself, I can understand your frustration. We have been in contact with both Tesla and the parking lot contractor. They have made sure that 4 stations have been cleared for now as this is the number that is contracted and rarely are more than that used at any one time. The unexpected weather had impacted several counties in Washington, including Skagit. With the limited availability of contractors to clear, they did the best that they could to make it possible for vehicles to gain any access the property.

That makes sense. Having done a bit of snow removal contracting myself, it's difficult to find a home for all of that snow with just a regular plow truck. To move that much snow out of the parking lot requires a bucket machine like a skid steer or a front end loader, which most crews have limited or no access to. At least they blocked one set of pairs so full speed charging is still available for 4 vehicles simultaneously.

Will the cables reach over from the jack in the box side? I’ve never tried, but seemed likely

The separation strip between the parking lots is about 10 feet so I doubt it.

No. The culvert is too wide. In a cyber truck... yes

Hmmmm... That has never been my experience in Burlington. But I guess technically if I always travel on weekends and you average out Monday-Friday in that statement it's "technically" true. 2 out of 5 days from 8A - 8PM is technically only 14% of the time.
