Another 4 inches last night here, although much more south of us. The result is that I got to use my almost-brand-new snow shovel on the front driveway again. Most of it is now cleared off, except for a patch down the middle between the two doors of the garage. I figured that patch can stay there, since all I need is a clear path in and out of the garage for the two cars. <\/p>\n
The snow wasn’t really wet, so it was fairly easy to push across the driveway into piles along the edge. I am starting to give consideration for the purchase of a snow blower. Leaning towards a Toro two-stage blower. But I may defer the purchase until I get employment. I have lots of time now for the manual method, but if I start working, the snow blower would be more efficient and more useful before\/after work. <\/p>\n
The sky is clearing tonight, which means it will be colder than before. Forecasts for a low of 9F. That’s pretty cold to this once-California guy.<\/p>\n
I mentioned on Facebook that after today’s shoveling, I was considering a snow blower purchase. A cousin (who lives in Sacramento CA) said that I should consider moving back to CA. I countered that that was not an option: it would be too far away from the grandkids. And that CA was too dysfunctional. I’d rather deal with a bit of snow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
