So I bought myself a snow thrower years ago and it’s nice to have it for sure, it’s not always the easiest thing to start with, but hey, it’s there.
After yesterday’s massive snow dump and my procrastination during the day of not going out and making the mound look more like a grain of sand, I turned it on and blew out some snow.
The funny thing is I thought I was done, then I realized my driveway looked smaller than usual and after doing some research I had another epiphany, due to the wind, I had miscalculated about three and a half feet of driveway.
UPS.
So the last part of the clearing was basically blowing snow in the wind, winters are fun right?
