The snow has stopped, and today is brilliant and sunny, with 8 inches of sparkling new snow on the ground, very picturesque. I take my lightweight (hi-tech plastic) shovel, and dig in. It's warm - around 40° - so the snow is wet and heavy, but I have lots of energy, and in 5 hours or so, I have cleared the circle around the pump house with paths to each shed, and the entire 300 foot driveway. I wasn't sure I had it in me. Then dig out the truck, and drive it into the cleared circle. I have to clear a path for it, as its 2-wheel drive and light rear end doesn't generate much traction.
Needless to say, all this leaves me tired & hungry, and I thoroughly enjoy my hearty pork roast supper.
