The sun is finally out and we have blue skies and it makes me so happy after nothing but snow for over 24 hours. I have done the driveway 5 times in 24 hours because it is easier on the snowblower. The driveway is 2/10ths of a mile long so it is a godsend to have the tractor and I won't take a chance on screwing up the snowblower.
I shoveled this out at about 2 AM and by daylight it was drifted back in, not a good sign.
When the sun came out I was tackling this, after having shoveled out in front of the garage and around both barn doors. There is a huge snowdrift on the porch where the firewood gets loaded. The top of the snow drift is at least 4 feet high and since there are two steps off the porch the snow there is probably over 6 feet high. I did what I could from the other side with the tractor and am shoveling my way from the porch side. Not fun, but I'm doing it a bit at a time
Butch is in town dealing with a leaky roof, while my nephew helps him by shoveling off our roof. I'm hoping I can get down into town after the snowplow comes up again (usually by 2 PM--they only do the road twice a day because it dead ends at the driveway. The road goes on for several miles, but the snowplows don't go any further than the driveway to the farm.)
