Only 3 inches here. the farmers came and plowed the driveway
I sold the dog house yest erday. Had to get Ollie out and push the snow away so I could lift it with the forks on the bucket. it was cold.

Congrats on the dog house sale, and friendly farmers with plows!

Fort Dodge, about 12 miles away, officially reported 16.5 inches of snow. I am sure I didn't get that much but still had knee-high drifts.

I always try to look pathetic as I shovel snow out by the road (curses on the snowmobilers who pack it down across my driveway!!), hoping some nice person with a snow blade will stop and finish the job. No one stopped yesterday.

I had a full-face mask on so the snow plow driver who piled more snow at the end of the driveway couldn't see my look of utter contempt, as the snow sprayed from his vehicle also fell on me. And, since I had on mittens, there was no point in doing any hand gestures.
