We made it. We got more than a foot of snow and it was the fine stuff,
nit big soft flakes so it was pretty heavy. Later on it got windy so
there was drifting. Blowing and drifting tends to break up the snow
flakes so they get packed down even harder.

I went out with the snow blower late in the morning and cleared ff our
parking area and our shared driveway that they neighbour had already
cleared once. He went out and did the driveway again about two hours
later. Late in the afternoon I went out and cleaned the sidewalk,
parking area and the driveway. When we took the dog out at night it
looked like nothing had been touched earlier. Every thing was snowed
over and drifted in again.

I went out this morning with the snow blower and cleaned it all up
again. Then the sun came out. It is a beautiful bright winter day. It
would be a nice day to go for a walk in the woods, but the snow is up
almost to my knees. I will wait until some of the local snowmobiles go
out and make some nice firm tracks to walk on.


My dog loves the snow. He doesn't mind that it harder to run through. He
is alike a kid in the snow.
