out in the snow again today…
after clearing a path to the back lane, I wrangled the garbage bin to a spot just outside the gate…
the drift there was about a foot deep so it took me a while to make a spot for the bin…
sure hope they empty it on Friday…

back to shovelling…
it was cold out there – felt like -35 Celsius – but I had to take out the garbage and recycling…
Friday is garbage day, so I wanted to check whether the bins needed to get to the back lane or not, lol…
happily, once the path was cleared, there wasn’t enough in them to need to drag them out this week, but next week may be a different story…
the snow is getting deeper and the pile alongside the deck is higher than the deck boards… this time I was really working at tossing it further, but it is a struggle…
I also dug a narrow path along the driveway to get to the vents for the furnace, to be sure they were clear of snow…
there is a ton of snow on the driveway, but I just moved it over so I could make my way…

today I woke to this view of the sky…
and a bit later I took this photo of the front yard to show someone how much snow was on the ground…
a tiny bit of snow had fallen yesterday and overnight and we are waiting for a storm tonight so I expect there will be more to shovel tomorrow…

this morning I was rather surprised by how much snow had fallen overnight…
when I opened the back door there was easily six inches of snow up against it… I figured it had just drifted and when I stepped over it there was six inches of snow on the deck and all the way to the garage…
when I opened the big door there was four or five inches… I walked along the driveway to see how deep the snow was and decided that I might not be able to get the car out…
back inside and called a cab… didn’t want to get stuck at the bottom of the driveway…
but it sure was pretty, lol…
was able to get a ride home with a colleague and walked from the end of the street to be sure she didn’t get stuck…
there was even more snow when I walked up the driveway… snow pants would have been helpful, lol…
the steps and sidewalk were completely covered…
my shoveler isn’t available tonight, but will be here at 7:30 am so that I can get out in time for work…
