  • I shoveled one neighbor's driveway on Weds. That was a 5" accumulation. He was off work on Thurs. He shoveled two more times. A snow plow came along and piled snow in his driveway near the street. I cleared that out for him while he was at work, yesterday.

    This morning, I scooped snow behind my car, started my car, then drove it backward about ten feet. The sun is going to help melt the rest of the snow and ice off the car. Now I need to clear away an area of about 20' X 8'.  Most of the rest of the driveway - about 80', is passable.

    We got 14'2 " and some places in the north country routinely get 25-30 of snow a year. Who am I to complain.

    I will say that it was easier to shovel snow at 16.
