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. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

Chilly here for the next few days, but we don't have to dig ourselves out. Hopefully, the snowy part of winter is over here, but no bets...I remember an April snowstorm some years ago. |

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. |

Getting tiresome. I'd think about a nice little single stage Honda snowblower if the guy on the corner didn't have one. The French people next door have a blower also but he's already working in Montreal while his wife and kids finish our the school year here. Last month she did dig her snow blower out and seemed to enjoy playing with it. If I just stay in bed a while longer one or other of the neighbours usually clear my walkway and sometimes the driveway. haven't had the chance to use my little electric blower the last few years. :-) |

Ever been to Albany? The one winter I lived in the area, we had one huge snowstorm after another. During one, a city or county dump truck with a plow went down the hill on the main drag through downtown and slid right into the Hudson River. Driver was rescued. |

Stuff barely made it out of the snow chute. |
