Hooray! Winter’s back in the Snow Belt, where it belongs.
I cleared the driveway for the wife in the morning with Mr. Snowblower, and scraped it just about down to the hardpack. Then I left at eight o’clock sharp to run some errands with the kids. When I returned two hours later, I couldn’t get up the driveway again, in forward or reverse. Now I need to time the next snowblowing pass for the wife’s return from work, lest I have to wrestle that huge lump of somewhat-self-propelled steel up and down the driveway three times in a day.
White death! You have returned! Oh, how much we have missed you. Did you have fun playing with the locals in Pittsburgh and Dee Cee?

That right there’s bizarro! I’m about an hour North of you and we got nothing but rain. We have less snow than we did this morning. It ain’t natural, I tell ya!
Get ready for the next one. Should be there in a day or two.
I find it easier to make several passes when it’s going to be really deep. My machine rebels when I try to force it to do more than an 8-10″ layer on one go.
Take the kids outside to make igloos and remind them that this could be their home if they act up.
Not good
… although I’ld take it over our weather which was 42C today …. I think snow would be a nice change.
Do you have *any* idea how good 42ºC sounds right now???
Uhhh… Jay… that’s 107° F.
Thanks anyway, but I’ll take the snow.
I’m an hour or so south of you and got nothing but rain.
The gods of winter must favor you.
“When I returned two hours later, I couldn’t get up the driveway again, in forward or reverse. ”
How do you say “tire chains” in Duetsch? “Riefen ketten”?
Well, your state institutions are certainly more prepared for white death than are those in the mid-Atlantic region!!
