The Driveway Saga Season 3: Episode: 4 - "Our Second Significant Snowfall"

So...it happened Again..Sort-of

It has been a pretty mild winter. We had the first snowfall that needed to have the drive way plowed over a month ago back on December 20th. We finally had another plow-able amount of snow on January 23rd. It really was not that much snow only about 5 inches, but it was heart attack snow. Heart attack because it started out with very large heavy water content flakes making it very heavy and very frozen.

As you can see it is a pretty nice sunny day today. A bit on the cold side at only 8F/-13C, one of the coldest days we have had so far.

Here is the view from where I park for the evening:

Parking Area View

The plow guy was completely unexpected, I had not been out yet for the day so was unfamiliar with the type of snow fall we had, so it was hurry up get dressed, get the car cleared and warmed up so I could move it when he had our secondary parking area cleared. Which is here, the extreme right side with the tall snow pile:

Secondary Parking and Heading Out View

The plow operator is pretty quick, so I just got the car cleared and moved for him to catch the primary parking spot. He did have one small slight mishap this time around, normally this would be the fourth time of plowing and he would have had berms along the edge, he got a slight bit to far over and went into a small ditch area, no real problem for him, but I am sure he was not happy about it. Here is the view of the in and out stretch of the drive:

In and Out Stretch

As I mentioned above having him show up was unexpected so no real before shots, but as luck would have it on the 19th I did take a drive way picture from out my upstairs window:

So...so far a very mild winter.

the other day, I had to clear the curb of the plough ridge three times in one day :D

We are lucky where I live after street plowing they come by and clear any bad driveway blockages they made with the big plow.

I hope you got that heating system all sorted out, our really cold month is coming up fast.

This morning I woke up to a fair bit of snow and it is still coming down, so there will be some work to do when I get home. I don't mind the workout, but my drive is nowhere near as large as yours :)

Heating sorted (for now) but if it keeps happening, they will have to replace a part.
