after such a late start to winter the snow has been coming down like crazy for the last few days…

when I looked out this morning the driveway looked like it had just a bit of snow, but when I opened the garage door I discovered this drift…

clearly the car wasn’t going to make it through that… so I shovelled for a while… wasn’t too windy or cold, in fact I could hear water dripping from the eavestrough as I worked… 

it was, however, very heavy… and there wasn’t really anywhere to pile it up, so I did a bit of walking and dumping, lol…

eventually it was cleared enough for me to get the car out…

the drive downtown was slow but steady and most of the roads had little snow on them, thanks to all the workers who have been working around the clock to keep the city moving…

snowed off and on for most of the day and my grandson got dropped off at my office to come home and shovel again…

we parked on the street so he could work without anything in his way…

he worked outside and I made supper inside and we finished at just about the same time…

then we visited… well, he played on his phone and I wrote my blog while we waited for his dad to pick him up when he was done work… 

happily we had lots of conversation in the car and over supper…

just need to bring Shadow in and then head to bed…
