It took 3+ hours and Terry's one hour of assistance to get the driveway cleared using nothing but shovels. With the drifting and the inch or so from the previous snow, perhaps I should/could have used the snow thrower for a large chunk of the drive, but then the wind would have been blowing much of the thrown snow back at me.
It is done, however, and there's nothing more than a few flurries on either the 10-day Weather.com or the 15-day Accuweather forecasts. We will be seeing some pretty cold nightly lows in the next few days. Zero and even negative digits are a possibility, if not at the Aerie, then certainly down in the valley.
It never got above 17 degrees while I worked, but I'm still soaked from the skin out from the workout I got.

Time to check in on the Yukon Quest again and see how Michelle Phillips is doing....
Apparently she's taking a rest a few miles short (currently at 352.6 miles into the race) of the Scroggie Creek Dog Drop (mile 354 on the route). She's been there for some time now. She was running as high as fourth, but this lay over has allowed many mushers to slip past her.

I see that Brent Sass has moved ahead of Hugh Ness. That will probably change a few more times, during this middle third of the race.
