No thunder or lightning out here Chas.
I went to bed with 4-8" in the forecast. Figured I'd wake up around 4:30 and get all of my accounts done in time to get to work at 7. Woke up to 14" of heavy stuff. Got the non-retired driveways mostly cleaned, the retired driveways mostly passable and 1/2 the sidewalks done. Guess I'm going out of the snowplowing business with a bang!

We're going to spend the afternoon on the roof with my brother's snowblower to get some of the load off. He's got a newer one with all sorts of safety features and separate clutches so we figure with the feet lifting the chute off the roof .75"-1" we shouldn't get into too much trouble with it. My lightweight one isn't self-propelled and my big one isn't something you want to be on a rubber roof with.

COME ON SPRING!
