Stop in for a cup of coffee

This snowstorm really put a hurting on us. 6” of snow followed by 6 hours of freezing rain. There is a thick coating of ice still on the trees 2 days later and the snow cover has a 1.5” crust of solid ice on it. Some places were so soaked that the ice is 3” thick.

I have spent the better part of the past 2 days trying to clear it off and I’m only about 30% done. Today I got the 300C cleared enough that I can get it out of the driveway if we need to go anywhere...and it was parked at the end of the driveway just 8’ from the street. The plows put a 3’ high berm of crap behind it that froze solid. I have been chipping away at it for 2 days.

The only part I can take any joy in is that my calorie count is up significantly in the past 48 hours...otherwise, I am just plain exhausted. It’s going down to 16* tonight so what remains out there will be completely frozen into a block of ice with the partial melting of the 34* day. I estimate it will take 2 more full days of work to get it all cleared.

I hate Winter.
