I cleaned the driveway this morning at about 8. there was about 3 inches of slush. Went out to do some errands and by the time I got back the precipitation had pretty much stopped (noon). It started snowing like a bastard at about 3 and kept going until about 5 which left another 3 inches but I had decided to wait until the morning to deal with it.

UNTIL I SAW THIS THREAD !!! Then I started panicking that it was going to freeze over night and my driveway wouldn't be clean again until April.

So I went out and started the snow blower. I would have been fine waiting. The 3 - 4 inches that was out there was just fluff here in North Central Mass.

Oh well, it only took me about 45 minutes and now I can stay in tomorrow morning and enjoy my coffee.

ADDED SURPRISE BONUS: Some mystery snowplower cleaned out the end of my driveway where the town trucks left their mess after I cleaned up this morning. Holy shit that was a nice thing to do.

Did you move into your house recently? I used to have a mystery snow plower even though I often did my own shoveling before they came. Turned out the previous homeowner never cancelled their contact. I got a bill at the end of the season even for the days when I shoveled the whole thing myself. Hopefully that’s not the case for you and if not, that is a very lovely surprise!!!
