Energetic, articulate and intelligent. A man of vision. Not nearly as curmudgeonly as I pretend to be. (I declined to write a description of myself, so this was a collaborative effort developed by my daughter and my life parter.)

More Snow

I spent much of my outdoor time last week shovelling the drive. I managed to get the truck down to the road by driving over the front lawn where the snow was not as deep as in the drive. Then I started shavelling from the road up toward the garage. I moved the truck further and further up the lane as I shovelled.

The days friday to Sunday were springlike and I was actually having fun moving chunks of snow. By Sunday afternoon the truck was almost halfway to the garage.

On monday morning Audrey and I left for a day trip to Moncton in the car. It began snowing shortly after we crossed the bridge and by the time we got to Moncton there was enough snow that the plows were on the road.

We left Moncton at noon because the storm was getting worse and we didn't want to be away for another day. After a little over three hours of white knuckle driving for our hundred and fifty km we arrived home and managed to get the car into the end of the drive but knew then that it was stuck there.

My truck was invisible under a mound of new snow. Looking up the drive the house was not visible. We trudged through thigh deep shallow spots to reach the house.

Ya gotta love winter some years.

I wonder what the prognosis is for being able to move the truck when the snow recedes in a few weeks?
