Winter Storm Warning<\/span><\/h2>\n

Greetings!<\/p>\n

10:30am<\/p>\n

The snow has stopped now and some wind is kicking up. I got about another 1 1\/2″ while I was clearing the top driveway. The front steps were clear when I started and needed shoveling again a couple of hours later.<\/p>\n

My little snowblower was not happy about taking foot deep snow all at once. In order to not break the belt and end up shoveling I had to take about 6″ swaths per pass. It took a couple of hours to do the top driveway, around the cars, and in front of the work shed.<\/p>\n

As I finished up I couldn’t help thinking that the three quarts of premium that I just burned could quite possibly be the best $2 that I had ever spent.<\/p>\n

After my lunch break I will fire up the plow truck and go after the private road. That won’t be pretty with the frost out of the ground and a lot of snow. As one guy at work phrased it yesterday, I will probably end up doing some landscaping as the plow rolls up sod and gravel.<\/p>\n

Here is a winter classic look.. the snow-hawk.<\/p>\n

It started snowing heavily again and I was getting pretty wet so I took a break from digging out to get a few pictures. My official tally is 11-12″ but it is still snowing at a good clip. There isn’t much question that I will cross the foot mark. Click the image to get a bigger version.<\/p>\n
