| Front walk had 25cm |
 |
| Holy liftin snappers, it's deep! |
That said, I had fun, and paced myself, by taking the odd photo.
The road traffic was awful. Everyone must have slept in, or maybe its just that 'hurry up, I don't want to follow you' attitude.
I'd looked down the road, and saw a vehicle about to pass another, heading straight for me, where I was standing at the mailbox. He changed his mind, thankfully. I lived to tell the tale. It was an Invisible Fence®Branded car.
What I didn't realize is that I'd broken off the shear pin on the blower on one side of the axle. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. You can't watch the blades turn, as you must hold the handle down. A good failsafe. Bob V, of Bob's Mobile, fixed it that afternoon! Bless his heart! We had a good chat.
Unable to rest after lunch, I had to bring more wood in from the shed. With -15 C. temps, I'm happy to supplement against our propane bill!

| Snow drifted across the top of the roof and onto the front step. |
 |
| Hooray for the snowblower |
 |
| First swipe down and back, 5 more runs to go! |
 |
| Hubby swept off the front porch for me. He was waving! Can you see him? |
 |
| Snowplow was passed by two cars on our 500m stretch. The Door Doctor – hope he doesn't need a doctor later. |
 |
| And the pick-up truck passed, too. I wonder how they get their jobs done. |
 |
| What a great invention! The snow blew across the driveway. It was much deeper to the north side. |
 |
| 'Twas 60cm, but the middle of the drive it was about 35cm. |
 |
| It was brisk. Should have worn a scarf! |
 |
| Crisp, clean lines! |
 |
| The end in sight! Gotta love that sunshine! |
 |
| I'm half done! It's a 100m driveway. I even had to cross the road, plow out around the mailbox. |
 |
| If you look in the distance, you'll see several vehicles, all driving by at Nascar speed. |
 |
| They all pass coming north from this curve. This is where two of our cats have been struck by cars. |
 |
| Now our mail ladies and newspaper man can get at the mailbox! |
 |
| The beauty of a March storm: the heat of the sun melts the snow! |
 |
| In the backyard, the deer circled the bird feeder! They are worried about the 'blue cat' under the feeder. (That's what I think they thought!) It's a bucket of water, as they were drinking from meltwater that collected from underneath. Rather than helping them, they were afraid. They gingerly, cautiously, approached the feeder. |
 |
| The shed has a lovely wrapping of snow |
 |
| The wind blew layer upon layer onto the shed roof. |
