I'd rather shovel two feet of regular snow, than three inches of whatever this shit is called.

19. Eerily similar to my situation today except I also had a tree down at the end of the drive.

I cut away enough with a pruning saw to get in and out once the snow melts a little. I've had a couple heart attacks and know what I can do and not do. I'll sit by the wood stove and sip rum and cokes. Oh, and my power was off until a short while ago. I expected to be out for at least a day. My rural spot is the first to lose power and last to get restored and the power is out quite often, at least once a month. More to come because this whole area is loaded with dying ash trees. Last year one took out my power pole and caused 6K damage to one of our cars. Life in the country.
