We got dumped on, too – but the wind scoured some areas clean and made huge drifts in other places. Still blowing around and forming little whirlwinds of snow. Surprisingly, we didn't lose power either.
Apparently I have forgotten how to quote.....one of our neighbours is the local go-to guy for driveway clearing. We have noticed on our walks that he clears about six feet in on many of our seasonal neighbours' driveways. Realized he does that to get rid of the snowplow berms. He is going by anyway when he does his rounds and this way he does not have to contend with the "concrete" if he gets a call from a summer resident who wants to come up for a winter visit and asks him to clear their 700 foot driveway.
I wish we had a local go to guy! Poor mrjoe has become it for our neighbours. In that horrible dumping two weeks ago our blower crapped out. I helped as best I could, which isn't saying much really.
