Note
Snow dealings, round 5a: my driveway. Got about 3" of dense wet snow overnight, spent about a half hour as it started to get light out doing straightforward snowblowing, including clearing off the spare car.
The electrician came yesterday and replaced the old wiring on the outside of my house and the main panel, so I should now have reliable electricity, and while he was at it I had him wire in an outlet to make it easy to hook up a generator should I ever decide to acquire one.
