treeskinWe got off lucky yesterday, compared to a lot of people. 8" of snow, nasty wind, but the wind's already stopped today, and it's clear and sunny and bitter cold. The snow plows have been up our road, and left enough snow on the road surface to give traction on the ice underneath.
By's headed out later to start digging out the cars. We got lucky there, too. There's a big snowdrift around two sides of the car, but it's mostly clear behind. There'll be a couple spots down the driveway that always need shoveled, or the car high-centers and gets stuck, and the snow-plow pile at the bottom. Most of the big drifts aren't in the way of getting in and out.
We spent some time this morning taking pictures of the snowdrifts from inside; the new windows are clear enough to get away with that. Yay!
My mom is home today, because it's even colder there, and Sis's kids are home from school, though Sis has to work. A farmer down the road from her plowed a lane up to the main road, so she could get out.
By's folks are enjoying 50 degrees today. **sigh**
