Note
Snow dealings, round 5a: my driveway. My impression is that this particular storm was largely a bust, but at my place it snowed pretty steadily all day, and I ended up with about 8" of cement. The snowblower handled it, never quite stalling, although a number of times it sounded like it was on the verge of doing so. Did some of the plow snow down by the road with a shovel, because although the snowblower could do it, I had to take such narrow slices that it wasn't worth it. Spent probably about 50 minutes total out there. There was a thin layer of slush left, with a sleety drizzle falling. If it drops below freezing tonight, the driveway will be a sheet of ice in the morning.
