I'll do an mspaint, but probably won't get it done tonight.

What I'm picturing Leroy doing is letting the pickup catch all that plowed snow then moving it when he needs to move his other vehicles out of the drive.

Close, but like I said, the cars are in the back, and the ally doesn't have this problem, they clean it pretty well so we can always get out there. But for the first few years here, I would religiously clean out that spot in front. Finally, I said to hell with it, threw the truck in there and let them throw how much snow they want in there. Because eventually it gets full, and they will throw it in some other dumb [expletive]'s yard. :)

No. I can't get my snowblower to start. Damn thing is a beast, but useless if it won't start.

Ugh.

Just got thru the Nor’easter now bracing for this next one. Forecast here is rain changing to ice/sleet, changing to all snow. Just hoping the snowblower can handle that mixture.

Snow is tapering off here finally. We wound up with 14in. It's blowing pretty good out there. My Dad fell this morning, but he's doing ok. He's gotta be the most stubborn man in the world.

Sometimes you just have to embrace winter.
