The driveway snowcover melted, I went out. It's cracking where the ground has absorbed water, expanded, and frozen. It is discouraging. We had it totally redone in July, 2021.
I am so happy to virtually visit people like tzgarden who remind me of the promise of summer! We all need some hope.
I had to do the driveway again on Sunday. It was the 4 cm of snow. With the ice that formed on top.
It just slid out of the auger feed!
The bane of our rural existence, the mounds the snowplows leave! I think I got it this time.
I usually wave to the snow plow drivers, despite this. I barely caught a photo of the bright red truck. It looked more like snow removal. That's a problem for towns and cities.
In the way back to the house, the deer were ignoring me and the loud snowblower! I kept away, not getting too close. Until I did! There is some ice under it. It's not great for walking. We shall see what this week brings. More snow today, methinks.

I remember I was reading your blog when you had your driving done. Wow. That's very soon to crack.
Your ponds and waterways ought to be really full of moisture then this year right? Hopefully.
Ice under the snow is so nasty. When I went out for a walk on Saturday morning I found deer trails to be slick as all get out with ice under the bits of snow!
I could see places where even they slipped and slid about!
A couple of more months to go.
I've missed quite a few of your posts so I played catch up today. I love the swan pictures, they are such cool birds. And that buck from January 2024, that is one nice deer! Have you seen him since then? We have had some warm weather here is well. So much so, that we are totally snowless!
Managing snow seems to take a lot of energy these days in your life. I dare say seeing summertime photos does help, a bit.
It has been a long winter already.
Geez, I see why so many people from the North come South for the winter! What a lot of work. We are finally having cold weather here in Georgia after a week or so of temps in the 70's. Finally got my fire! Take care and have a good week.
Such a shame that it's cracking ...
I wonder did the firm give any guarantee how long it may/would last?
Some firms here in the UK do, but then we do not get the very cold and snowy weather you do.
All the best Jan
:) Thank you friend! I love seeing your snow, and your all the critters! Darn it on the crack, is there any repair that can be done?
Cracks are infuriating. We patched, for years, but now we have gravel on the road, so there is no point in anything but gravel on the laneway.
Are you sure that is a woodpecker. Looks a bit like bear scratches, only all the bears should be in their beds, hmm?
