The snowblower froze up (specifically the mechanism that turns the spout) so I had to drag it into the house to warm it up. The plug cap on my headbolt heater also froze solid. I couldn't bring the car into the house to warm it up because, among other things, I already had the snowblower in there. I spent 20 minutes with a heat gun prying it off instead.

Aside from that it was a normal weekend.

I'm imagining your SO entering the living room full of usually outside stuff and you muttering "Don't even ask."

I actually went and talked to her before I started because I knew that was how it'd end up going.

Absolutely right. Open communication is the key to any new roommate situation, even if it's only between an man, his wife, the couch and the poor freezing snowblower.
