Dug out

Gee, that was fun. We got about 10 inches of snow over the weekend, and it formed a very lovely series of drifts across the driveway and street. I watched the city play with their new toy last night - apparently they have a new New Holland tractor with a bucket on the front and a snowblower mounted on the back. The driver got to the entrance of the neighborhood, then turned around and began attacking the snow drifts with the blower.



I tried tackling a little of the big drift across the driveway last night, without a lot of success given the strong winds. I didn't have to go to work until 12:30 today, and Jennifer was home all day, so I had plenty of time this morning to work on shoveling. Luckily it didn't take too long. I cleared a small patch about 6 feet wide - just long enough for our neighbor to see me and drive over with his skid steer. Ben had the entire driveway cleared in about 5 minutes.
