Hate it when a snow storm "over-delivers".
Two of them in as many days is unfair.
We have about 16 inches of the stuff
in some places.

1-3” slushy snow yesterday with breeze.** Now it’s sinny and 5 above.
Might hit 20 today...
When we had the large house with the 1,000 ft driveways I decided one
year to invest in a plow for my F-250 thinking it would pay for itself
over a few years and be fun to boot.
The "fun" part didn't last long.* Plowing can be a pain in the ass,
especially when there's a foot or more of it following several storms.
After a while you can't plow because there's no place to push the snow.
I'd have to fire up the JD tractor and move it around with the front
end loader.
Nice now.* If there's a storm coming, I just stock up on coffee, food
and the essentials and watch out the window as the hired, younger guys
with trucks and plows do the driveway.

After one storm the house and barn were featured on a Boston news

Was that the footage shown on ABCs The Chronicle when they did an item on Real Estate a couple years ago. Mrs E went international on that one.
Yeah. We had put the house up for sale and they were doing a report
on the difficulty of selling in the winter months.
