Yesterday afternoon, it started snowing. Very light powdery stuff graced us with it's presence. The lovely stuff continued on into the night. It's always a bad sign when I hear the snowplows go by numerous times by 4am.
This time we got 4". By 5am, I was up and at it... Shoveling the white fluffy stuff. About an hour into it, the snowplow guy stops by and asks if I need it plowed. Ah...Ummm... (I was almost 1/2 done by that point)... "No, I don't think so. But thanks!" And off he went. Another 1/2 hour and it was time for me to get ready for work.
Over my lunch hour, I spent another 45 minutes shoveling. The main area of the driveway is now clear. I still have a bit of "clean up" to do. Right now, I have a nice ski slope in my front yard, and a bunny hill in the backyard. LOL
I am *so* ready for spring!

Meari, I still think the snowplow guy has a thing for you. This is a case for Nancy Drew and "He's Really That Into You," Meari!!! :) Stop being so quick to do your own driveway!!! Hugs, Deb
Who needs aerobics?? You could make your own work-out video just taping yourself doing all that shoveling! :) Make a snow angel and drink some hot chocolate for me, ok? I miss 'em here in Florida!!
