We celebrated having both girls and the Grand Girl here for two days in late February by having an 6” snow fall. It took no time at all to clear the driveway!   

This snow came after we had already cleared off the 11” we had gotten a few days before the girls arrived.  

Fluffy, not heavy, but still amazing to move.

We haven’t had time to do any formal weight lifting, but I do believe I’m developing some new muscles!  Of course, they are a bit lopsided, due to favoring throwing the snow right-handed. Even the US Postal Service shut down for a day due to this snow fall.  

The amount of snow by the roadside isn’t spectacular until you realize there’s usually a ditch there.

We hadn’t moved the Subaru for a couple of weeks.

Michael bought a roof rake. We hope to prevent our garages from flooding when melt time comes. The ground will be frozen when the melt begins.

The snow from the roof was compacted. Made me feel like I was in a Star Trek episode!

Now it is sunny and cold. 22 below and the sky becomes a deep blue.  

Sparkle!
