      Wow. That’s an impressive amount of snow. Go slow with the shovelling. Or just wait it out if you can. Heart attacks can and do happen.

        The only thing keeping me shoveling was the hope that I'd have a heart attack and get to spend a month in bed.

        I probably shouldn't tempt fate - I've got a fair bit left to do tomorrow.

        I was only joking

          I’m pretty good at stopping every couple of minutes to catch my breath. I’ve got another hour or so to do tomorrow. Today I did the front walk, tomorrow I’ll dig the car out from the tip of the driveway. I purposely didn’t put it in the garage because that would mean shoveling the entire driveway. Next year iim getting a snow blower.

            Snow blowers are great, but if the snow is heavy enough it clogs it quickly. Still, better than back breaking shoveling, but the best snow is the very dry and fluffy snow when temp is near zero. Also storage space (and keeping stale gas out) can be a PITA. But again... better than breaking your back during a blizzard. Good workout though!

                I don’t know how legal this is for you folks, but up here when our culdesac got hit hard and heavy (& the city wasn’t doing anything for us), all us neighbors pitched in and hired our own guy with a snow plow to do the street. We especially needed to clean up the exits from our driveways. Cash worked.

                  You can hire people here but it tends to be difficult when you need it most.

                  @89th I had a snow blower for years at my old house. I’m familiar with the downsides which is why I didn’t buy one here at first.

                        @jodi here is my view right now. I actually just went out about a half hour ago and installed that green bird feeder (really hard to see in the picture, it's left of the bluebird birdhouse which is used by every bird except blue birds... mostly black capped chickadees and woodpeckers later in the spring).

                        A little blurry but this fellow showed up today. Right on cue... the black capped chickadee. Wonder if he's the same as last year?
