Worked a half a day then my boss let me go so I could deal with my snow issues.

First, I dug and snowblowed out the kitchen door. Now I have 2 sided access to my house.

Then I began hostage negotiations for the dryer vent. It was hairy at times, but I managed to free it.

Next I got up on the chicken coop roof and shoveled it.

After that I made a few passes down the driveway with the blower to try to widen it. I had to stop when the bank was higher than the tosser nozzle.

Got the mailbox excavated.

Blew around the side of the house to that front door that was almost completely buried. Shoveled it out.

Completed animal chores, topped off feeders/waterers for tomorrow's storm... only 10 to 14 inches.

Now it's time for naproxen and bed.

That wore me out just reading it!

Get some rest for sure.

OMG! I lived in MA when I was 20 and shoveled out peoples cars at the apartment when I was living. Now I love driving my mower around and all (when its warm) but that is just crazy!

Superchemicalgirl, have you ever considered living somewhere where the winters are milder? I seriously have to salute you. Our winters here in Missouri are a fraction milder than we were used to in Illinois. Snow fall per winter is about half of what we were used to but there is more ice. Even so we sometimes look at one another when the temp is 5 below and wonder if we shouldn't have retired somewhere even further south than what we are.

Be safe. No heart attacks allowed.
