Shove
Snow.
All I can say is, this year we are prepared, whereas last year, we were not. So, I'm very glad last year was mild.
That's about a foot of the stuff. Mostly fluffy powder, heavy enough in those quantities. Shoveled hard for about 20-30 minutes to clear the front enough for pedestrians, and the drive enough not to high-center when I eventually take the car out. I thought I was recovering more than I actually am. That wore me right down to the nub, and I'm having cayenne in my strong tea and muffins. Can breathe enough to sleep at night, but I'm not back to myself quite yet.
Moby caught, and released, a little mouse, twice last evening. He's been on the prowl ever since, professional cat that he is. I'm just glad he didn't get it again and bring it to me in the wee hours.
----- Meanwhile,
THIS idiot just turned left, and all the snow they failed to clear from their roof and/or hood, fell on their windshield. So they had to stop in the middle of the street, with other drivers behind trying to turn left, to shove off enough snow to see. Took them long enough for me to notice, get the camera, slip on shoes to step on the porch, and take photo.
And this is why we always clean all the snow off the car. Always. Dumb-ass-SUV-driving moron. But I'm being redundant.
Moby came out with me, stayed about as long. He's not impressed with snow, he seems to think it is a bad idea.

Yes, we often see almost totally snow covered cars here during or soon after a storm.
I also do a thorough job of clearing off our vehicles.
Yep. They have offspring here, too. Thoughtless drivers.
snow on its way here - will try to allow enough time and find suitable implements to take your good advice and remove snow from roof of car.
PP,
I can only assume it is thoughtless and lazy, but it does mark out the dangerous drivers pretty clearly.
Rou,
They are everywhere and they are legion.
FB,
I never doubted. Watch out for the drivers who don't.
Got some Northwood Ice Melter that has done wonders this year keeping the walks clear. Mag sulfate, which is supposed to be less corrosive.
i do wish i had more time to keep up with your blog, dear zhoen! i wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of the driver. some people!
