Three days before we were going to move it decided to snow a heavy twelve inches of wet snow. Any other time in my life I would have been delighted for a such a snow. Knowing I had to get two driveways clear enough for moving in three days made this a lot less than pleasant. 


That's a subaru wagon buried under the white stuff..


The beginning of a long day.


Luckily (or not) I made a deal with the neighbor. Her husband was in China on business and she was struggeling with their snowblower, so I
offered to clear her driveway if she'd let me use it on our driveway. The deal worked.  


Until the tread came off the one side.


 
With all our tools packed up for the move, we had to ask another neighbor to borrow theirs so we could get it running again.


Back in business.


 Back in September I ordered this cool snowbaord jacket and pants for the season. Unfortunately the only it got this year was in the driveway.


The real trouble started when I finished in Paoli and went to Downingtown to plow the driveway there. The chains the previous owner left me
were too small for the tractor. I tried to make them fit the best I could with bungie cords, but after two hours of half-ass plowing in the dark I
gave up and went home. I went out the next morning (Monday morning) and called someone to come plow. After two hours I decided to head
to work. At work all I could think about was getting the driveway clear for the move, so I took the rest of the day off to go home and
plow/shovel whatever. On the way over to the house I stopped some guy plowing a parking lot and asked if he'd do my driveway. Forty-five
minutes later he was there and getting the job done.
