The snow is tapering off. From the radar, it looks like we won’t have much more significant snowfall from this storm - maybe a couple more inches as the tail of the storm whips around but that’s about it. There may be as much as 20 inches out there right now. Several of the spots I cleared were well over 24 inches deep and they weren’t the highest drifts.
I walked out to this: Where are the stairs?
It was actually quite pretty before I cleared the snow.
Quickly I was able to get to this: Oh hey, there they are…
The wind has actually made my car a little more visible.
I ended up looking a little like this and this. The Best Neighbor in the World cleared the sidewalk with his snowblower and then let me borrow it to clean out the end of the drive way. There are distinct advantages to a snowblower over a shovel, even if the snowblower is just a little electric one. It was the underdog but it came out victorious.
Why yes, I do shovel snow in my Fluevogs. And, yes, my socks were perfectly dry at the end of the shoveling exercise. Oh, and, yes, I am enjoying all this snow. A lot.
