Just what we didn't need: more snow
Holy cow! We're getting buried here. A storm Tuesday and Wednesday dumped 40 cm or 16 inches of heavy white stuff on us. The snowbanks are getting so high I can't blow the snow over with the snowblower.
Doc had a vet appointment the next day so I blew out a track to the road just in time for the grader to go by. Then the usual 45-minute drive to Thunder Bay took 1.5 hours each direction. I took my little Nissan truck which is just two-wheel drive but has Toyo snow tires that get tremendous traction. In the bed I had 250 pounds in sand bags. Finally, I had my chains handy, just in case, but never needed them.

Now that's a lot of snow more than my little blower will take on. Hope you are able to get out for food if needed.
