Blizzard 2011
When the snow rolled through earlier this week, I at first didn’t think that it was that big of a deal. After all, I grew up in the Midwest and even spent a couple of years living in Maine. Snow is just a part of winter.
However, when I went out to actually shovel the snow, it was fairly obvious that this wasn’t typical. There was a drift that was literally 5ft high covering most of my driveway. Then the 12-15″ everywhere else. This wasn’t the light and fluffy snow either. I had to use a snow shovel to break it up before I could get at it with the snow blower.
Where the drift started that covered the driveway.
It took me two days to clear my driveway and the sidewalks. (Corner lots suck.)Once I got down to the end of the driveway, I did have a small problem because I ran out of space for the snow I was snow blowing. This left me with decent sized walls on both sides of the driveway. I must admit, I also didn’t fully remove the snow on one side of the driveway
Glad to be done with it and now I am just sore and tired and feel like I could sleep for a week. When does spring get here?
