Reply #48: It finally got to 0 degrees, so I went out and shoveled about 14" of [View All]

drifted snow off the walk from my house to the city sidewalk. After a brief rest, I'll get the snowblower out and finish what I did twice yesterday and take the driveway and city sidewalks down to the pavement. I share a driveway with a neighbor, but the house is being rehabbed, so I'll clear that side and the neighboring sidewalk too, so it'll be easier for the workers to get to the house tomorrow.

In the meantime, everyone who didn't do anything about snow removal yesterday are out shoveling, since the snow is too deep for the average snowblower to cut through. It's not going to be pretty for them, and I'm so glad I removed snow twice during the storm. I'll be finished in about an hour today.

Drifts are up to 4' deep in some spots on this residential street and the street itself is a complete mess. They may plow it today, but it might have to wait until tomorrow. This is a big deal. Oh, well. If you live in a cold winter state, you have to deal with stuff like this once in a while. Uff da!
