Snowblowing

Today I learned to operate the snowblower we had handed down to us a few years ago. I’ve used a snowblower before, but nothing quite as big as the one we have now. Once I got used to it, it didn’t seem like a major thing.

The snow was 4-6 inches deep, not counting the drifting. It’s a heavy snow; one that would be good for snowmen.

I got the driveway cleaned off, then had the little kid put on her snow gear so we could get the sledding done while I was already bundled up.

Treading through a couple of inches of snow, uphill, is not an easy task, but we managed to get to the sledding hill, where she took off 5 or 6 times, then decided it was too cold. She hopped in the sled and I pulled her most of the way home.

Just when I thought it was going to be another winter with no snow and reasonably warm temperatures. I keep forgetting that January through March are our severe winter months. It’s easy to forget with those 50 degree 上海的大学 days.
