In like a lion, out like a lamb...
So the saying goes anyway. Actually, the first day of March was rainy and more like slush falling from the sky than snow. But by midday Friday (after a day and a half) the slush turned to snow and by nightfall we a good few inches.
The slush froze underneath and made for really yucky driving conditions but the top sure was purty.
We purchased a new snowblower yesterday. The junker, ahem I mean refurbished, one my dad gave us in the fall weighs about 200 pounds and dan has trouble weilding it. Not to mention that little things kept going wrong with it to the point that dan was spending more time tinkering with it than actually using it. In all of the snows that we had this year, only once did it work properly.
So we had decided to get a new one and man am I glad we got it when we did! There was at least 6 inches of snow on all the walks and drive this morning, AND it had drifted really severely across the steps...
I got to run the blower while dan shoveled... And I was done first! AND I did ours and two neighbors' walks! Oh, and guess what color it is. As if color should have anything to do with picking out which snowblower to buy.
Orange.
