We woke up to a beautiful 6-7 inches of light, powdery snow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emmett and I had a lovely dark o’clock walk with temperature at a comfy 17F … refreshing, but not bitter cold (all things being relative, of course … to us, 17F is not bitter cold :) )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I looked at the weather forecast which showed a warm atmospheric river overrunning the cold and changing things from snow – to wintry mix – to rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RATS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was out at 7:30 to fire up the snow thrower and see what I could get done before running out of gas (me running out of gas!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 9:30, with several breaks, I had cleared the wide area in front of the garage, a wide walkway from house to garage and 2 perimeter rounds of the driveway. At the end of that time, it was warming enough that the snow was noticeably heavier for the thrower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bit of recoup and then a snowshoe\/walk with Emmett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We managed a late morning snowshoe\/walk as well, but by then it was raining :(<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By late afternoon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t have photos, but trust me … it is UGLY. Snow is off the trees and snow plops on the ground, plus the normal “yellow” stains from the trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really hate when this happens!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, I am grateful that I was able to clear what I could and my driveway is cleared via a new plow service … I felt that I had to have paid help … I know that I cannot do it all myself and it is also not fair to rely on my neighbor. But, I don’t have to like it … too much … I feel like I found a good person to do the work at a fair price so onward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not much more is forecast in rain\/snow, but it is to be a bit miserable as far as above freezing temperatures and inversion clouds, i.e. low, gray cloud deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
