as my housemate was leaving the driveway on Sunday, the plows came down the street so he wasn’t able to leave…

he was quick to get a shovel to start shovelling through the windrow… he headed to the sidewalk and they saw him and did a bit of extra snow moving so he didn’t have nearly as much as imagined…

the plow drivers were amazing in how they move the snow… by the time they were done, there was just a small windrow to be moved before he could leave…

so happy he was here because you have to move it immediately before it turns to concrete and then I would have gone out to move it;-(…

after he left they came down the other side of the street… the first plow moved the snow up over the curb and the second one went exactly along the edge of the curb to clear it up…

they have great control over their equipment…

the kids came over on Tuesday to do some shovelling…

I am usually able to do the sidewalks and decks, but there is so much snow out there now that I can’t toss the snow high enough to get over the drifts, lol…

the driveway got cleared, which was nice, although as I don’t go anywhere, that isn’t so important these days…

part of the job was to level the tops of some of the piles in the back so I can manage again without the snow sliding back to where I had moved it from…

they were also able to widen the space where the windrow was at the front… it is much easier to walk to the front door now…

blessed to have the help;-)…

another lovely quiet day…

so happy to know that my shovellers will be by whenever it snows… Saturday it was the partner who did it all with a shovel… there was a lot of snow out there…

when it wasn’t snowing or blowing it was beautiful…

last night the city plowed the street and built some good sized windrows in front of the sidewalk… they did a great job cleaning out the end of the driveway though…

I texted my shovelled and he was by within an hour to clear out the bricks of frozen snow…

think this process is going to work well for both of us… him, not having to dig it out when it has frozen back into one large clump and me, having a clear walkway for my company…

so happy with the shovelling done by my grandson yesterday…

he cleaned out the windrow at the end of the sidewalk which my shoveler hasn’t been able to clear… pleased as my friends have had to use the driveway rather than the sidewalk for weeks;-)… the driveway is sloped so the sidewalk is a safer walk…

he also cleaned off the back deck… there was a lot of snow on it… took ages for him to get this done…

this morning I had a lovely hot tub… it wasn’t too cold out and I enjoyed the quiet… I have been sitting at the opposite end as there are many icicles hanging from the roof and I don’t want any to fall and land on my head, lol…
