As predicted, mo sno fell over night. It looks like four inches. I did not have time this morning to break out the snow blower. I shoveled the front walk and I made a path to the driveway. I'll have to clean it up tonight.
I HATE that! I really like having my area of snow removal responsibility clean and I've done a poor job this year. Now that the snow blower is working properly, I have to do a better job.
I am home now and the driveway is clean. Lou cleaned my sidewalk for me so all I had to do was the drive.
Here's a good indication of the total snowfall we've gotten in the last couple of weeks. That pile of snow is 14 inches thick.
The plows came by tonight, sometime before I got home. They didn't leave too much of a berm so it was easy to clear it off.
No more snow is forecast right away so maybe we've made it through the worst of it. It doesn't feel like St Patrick's Day is only two weeks away.
We have a cold one going today. It's about 22 degrees but with the wind its about 11. There is a light but persistent snow coming down and the wind is blowing it all over the place.
One of the nice things about getting to work early is that you beat all the morning snow accidents. I guess there were a bunch this morning but I heard about from people who showed up to work after me.
Speaking of someone who showed up after me, I lost a good co-worker today. Kimi has been here for about 6 years. She was a good worker. We transferred her out of shipping into the Art Dept. She was chronically late. It was tough for her to wake up in the morning. A good solid sleeper!
Anyway, they have been on her for a long time about showing up on time and she was warned on Tuesday about it. On Wednesday, she came in 12 minutes late. We had a meeting about it and I tried to fight for her but the boss had had enough.
6:38PM: I left work early today in order to pick up film. That got me home while it was still light. I was able to tackle the two or three inches of snow with alacrity. It sound like we have more coming tonight.
I got the snow blower back today. It cost 75 bucks plus tax. Cheap to have the snow blower running good. I was expecting the snow to stop falling once I got the snow blower back. However, we are supposed to get 3 to 4 inches in the next day or so.
I'm ready!
We have had snow for 12 of the last 14 days. I made that up but it's very close.
My snow blower is in the shop but hopefully will be ready on Wednesday.
One of the interesting things about the snow is that it makes it easy to see how many vehicles parked on the street are essentially abandoned.
I did not seek these out. I simply drove down several residential streets today while out running errands. And I could drive down almost any stretch of street and find the same thing.
