Round two. We got about six inches of snow early this morning, and PopPop and I got out to shovel it before it changed over to freezing rain. We did a fair amount of shoveling, then took a break, then went back out to make sure Queenee's car could at least get out. By the time we started our second shift, the changeover had occurred and the snow was very wet and heavy. Still, we got done what needed doing, even though my shoveling technique isn't good enough to please PopPop. Honestly, I'm out there doing the best I can with crippled hands, arms and feet, stfu already if I'm not doing it exactly the way you are! It's getting done.
Steve drove over from next door with his truck/plow and got the end of the driveway again just after the snowplows had made a mess for the third time. We shoveled out the first two plow piles, but were happy that Steve got the third, because it was a very wet and heavy load by then.
So now it's raining. We're told the rain should stop sometime this afternoon, maybe before the end of the Patriots game. The roads will be a mess tonight when all this changes to ice.
Also, I just finished putting up the annual Christmas radio.blog for the Mote. Have a listen. Playlist 2 is an equal opportunity offender playlist, not for listening to at work or school.

Can't win...
ReplyDeleteHey... love the song lists... perfect for the holic-days.
Gerrish should just plow ya'll out in one sweep!! When you know it will snow... park all vehicles under grapes... tarp the thing for the winter... and let Gerrish plow the circle.. ??? nice thought huh? I guess tarping the grape pipes would be weird....
So, it will be more SHOVELING of snow and dishing while doing it!
Getting the blood pressure up, keep you warmer out there? I doubt you should be shoveling anyway!!! Cold, wet, cramped hands??? Stay in and make the cocoa and marshmallows.
Steve used to plow the circle, but Dad complained that he was tearing up the grass around the edges of the driveway. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI like that tarp idea, but a tarp draped over the grape arbor would never hold the amount of snow we've gotten these past two storms.
Oh Man.... tearing up the grass?
ReplyDeleteI'd let him do it just for that reason alone!! LOL
If anyone knows how to keep grass looking good... it's STEVE!!! heck.. maybe scrapping it up a bit would be good for it! Seed it in the spring.
I"ll sigh along with you......
Lord knows, I'd have it looking like Hillbillies lived there. HAH
Best of luck this snow season, I'll keep happy with my storm season being over for now. I know that a good plow/front-end-loader can remove a lot of snow/debris in seconds flat!
