We have had 2 feet of snow in the last few days. Yep, that’s 24 inches of the wet white stuff. Normally this isn’t a big problem for us. Hubby goes out and plows at various intervals, keeping our driveway clear and safe and easily navigable.
However, our big, fabulous, snow blower died the other day, leaving Hubby with a much smaller, and less effective blower to do the drive. Needless to say, the driveway is not pristine, and is not easily navigable without 4 wheel drive.
I’ve told Hubby to go and buy a newer one so that once the good one comes back from the shop, but he can use that one and I can use the one he will buy now.
But…..he hates the thought of spending money. I told him that if this winter is like last winter we better get the machine.
For those that do not recall, my driveway is 500 feet long and to get to my house it is all down hill. Naturally this means that to get out of here you have to drive 500 feet up hill under somewhat treacherous conditions!
Tomorrow he will blow the driveway again with the older machine. You see besides the 24 inches of snow that we got, we’ve also had 36 mile an hour winds blowing this stuff around.
I do love winter, but I like it best when all the machines are working, making the clean up easier to deal with.
Are you ready for Christmas??
Oooh, you guys be careful out there and tell hubby not to work too hard.
No, I’m not ready for Christmas, but it’s just us chickens this year so there’s no panic. 🙂
I feel cold just thinking about it. Brrr . . .
Almost ready, I think. Love YOU, Mel
My goodness, you guys are getting clobbered again this year. Talk about a white Christmas…
Have a wonderful holiday, and stay warm and dry.
Ready as I’ll ever be. Only 1 day of work left before I leave the firm so I am, as they say, demob happy! (Still no snow tho’!)
Better you than me — and I’m WITH ya on this one — buy the machine! Buy 3 or 4 of them! Let the neighbors come over and have a snow-blowin’ PARTY! LOL! I am ALMOST ready. 3 more stockings worth of stuff to wrap, and then grocery shop. But mostly I’m done!
As ready as I’m gonna be! There’s no WAY I’m going near a mall now LOL!
It does sound like you really do need those snow blowers working well with all the snow you get 🙂
SWEETIE!!! I am trying to get back into blogging today, after way too many months off! My brother passed away on Dec 1st, and with his home care, I just havent done anything in the last 4 months! I just had to come and say hello and tell you how I’ve missed you dear friend! Hugs and kisses! and tons of love!
Merry, Merry Christmas, with lots of delicious food, joy and peace.
Wow. Looks like you got our snow too since we don’t have any – yet 😉
I hope you get it fixed so you can move around safely there.
That sounds like a fun trip, snow covered, uphill driveway!!!
Ready for Christmas, I think so, but I will let you know HOW ready we were after the event!!! BUT, pressies have all been purchased, and cards have either been delivered or in the mail!
