Gotta move that snow.

As I've blogged and posted pictures; we've gotta A LOT of snow this year. It just kept coming! I don't mind too much since I actually quite enjoy snow blowing and don't mind shoveling....that is, until it turns into a giant piece of rock-ice.  This hadn't happened thanks to overcast days and cold temperatures, but over the last week or so, the conditions plus the city plows made those big bumps at the end of the front driveway.  Our snow piles were becoming out of hand and it was getting harder to snow blow it...well anywhere since the piles were so high.  So the city came around yesterday and decided to clear some from the curbs/boulevards...great in theory...horrible in reality.

While they got rid of a lot of the snow, they left an almost foot high bump of frozen - solid - dirty - slush lining the end of our driveway...my snowblower won't even go through it and my shovel doesn't make a dent.  SUPER annoying.  Thankfully we have a BACK driveway and the front one is just for visitors and walking down...but hopefully the mail people don't refuse to deliver our mail because of it...NOT OUR FAULT!

They also destroyed our little "Caution - Kids at Play" guy...not sure how we handle that one.  I'm not exactly expecting the city to reimburse for it; but it' not like it was in the road...their little plows came onto where the grassy area (under the snow of course) is and demolished it! :/.  Bummer all around!

Until Next Time..
