    Default Too much Snow in my driveway!!

    We have a nine O'clock appointment and can't get out! i shoveled one path but just can't handle this much snow.I called my lawn boy and his number changed. I called a man down the street who always wants to shovel my driveway and his number changed. Doesn't anyone keep the same phone number? sigh.
    i must change the appointment for sure. we are going no where.
    we have an old snow plow as you see in the photo but it hardly works. my hubby can't shovel anymore so it's up to me.

    I wonder why i can't shovel a straight line though? I always veer off to one side. Never did find the sidewalk. i have until tomorrow to get it cleared now.

    Where are you in Colorado? We are in Arvada and we got about 15 inches. Ahh I do love the snow. Hubby and son cleared it all off the driveway and sidewalks so I can get out. I still think I will be driving the big truck today though. Gotta get the grocery shopping done ya know.....

    Broomfield actually. someone came to the door and asked if they could do our driveway and my hubby said yes. they had a snow blower and finished cleaning the center of the driveway and out to the street. didn't come back for any payment though and i don't know who it was.... I've just finished looking for snow removal people online to no luck. just in case i need to call someone next time. oh well, i get my excercise.

    That is a lotta snow, so glad you finally got it cleared off. Good for whomever did it and didn't charge you. Lots of good people out there.

    This is what it usually looks like in our area from the beginning of December, , this year
    is green. We have NOT had any snow YET. At least we don't have to shovel or snowblow the driveway but I have to
    wonder what is going on. I think we will pay for this in a very short time. After all we can't lose our "Buffalo Winter Image"

    No snow yet in Ohio either. Thank goodness, I hope we can get through the month without any. Too much traveling and I hate doing it in snow. Sorry for all you people who have such a mess right now.
