We got about 5 inches of wet snow over night. That's one of those 'tween snow falls. I could use the blower but it's not that deep and it will throw just as many stones from the driveway as snow. So I grabbed the shovel and went to work. Terry came out to help and we managed to get the whole driveway done in about two and a half hours. It was a case of working harder and not smarter that will wither kill my back or strengthen me and my heart so I don't end up being the guy laying on the trail next fall.
(If you are new here, there have been three deaths in three years during the deer season at the Bolt Hole in the southwestern Adirondacks. All three were heart failure and all three guys were between 55 and 60 years of age.)
The sun has come out after a brief flurry just as we finished and there has been some melting. Unfortunately, the sun is also going to be sinking behind the ridge in about an hour so the melting will be short lived. There's also supposed to be a chance of an inch of snow tonight and another tomorrow. We might...just might...get lucky on Thanksgiving and have a mostly sunny day.
