That old snowthrower did it job, but I'm more tired using it. I had a choice leave it in the back garage and climb threw the snow or cover it by the back step. I plugged it in and covered it with the BBQ grill cover, worked great. We had light snow but it piled up with drifiting here in the area 60 miles north of NY city. I'm glad I went out early the bright sun is making it thicken as it melts.

In other news were getting another 6 inches on Wed.

Does fried ground hog taste good?
