That Blasted wind...

... that's been hammering us for over 24 hours -- 20mph constant and 40mph gusts -- left a "gift" for us outside the garage door. Since there hasn't been additional snowfall, the plows won't be returning to clear the piles, so I tackled the three-foot high/three foot wide drift myself. Now all my buddies who have to shovel or snow-blow their own driveways and walks won't extend pity, but those who pay monthly assessments for outdoor maintenance may be able to empathize.



It was good exercise, but since I'm in day three of a bad cough and cold, I'm not sure how much my body appreciated the exertion.
