I Used to be Snow White, But I Drifted

That's one of my favorite Mae West quotes, and I thought of it today as I dealt with the aftermath of our blizzard yesterday.  I spent a good three hours today clearing the driveway and sidewalks of the snow we received.  No one is quite sure how much snow actually fell, because the wind blew the snow into huge drifts everywhere, but our local weatherman is saying 13 inches.

My biggest drift was about 45 inches deep.  As you can see, the yard stick was not long enough to get an accurate measurement.

Here is what the entire drift looked like, and that is the heavy duty, hard-working snowblower that I am fortunate to have.  But first, I had to use the shovel to knock down the drift to a height that the snowblower could handle.

And here is the "after" picture, showing the driveway free and clear!

I heard that the groundhogs did not see their shadows today, so let's hope that really does mean an early spring!  After this storm, I'm ready for winter to be over.  Thanks for visiting my blog today.
