OB and I tried to help a neighbor get his girlfriend’s car unstuck last night. She had totally buried it, up the engine mounts, and the car was high-centered. He had been digging for a while before we saw him and went out, but alas, we couldn’t get it to budge. Think they came back today with a truck and pulled the dang thing out.

The City didn’t get around to plowing our street until Wednesday, and with the additional snow, it is piled higher at the stop signs than a sedan can see over. The snow plow saw our relatively clean driveway, and pushed about 2 feet of snow into it, just to reduce the amount of snow piled around the stop sigh. Grrr. Now, it is piled on either side of our driveway.

Digging out the end of the driveway is always the hardest, because it is not only snow, but salt-melted slush as well, and if it freezes before we can get to it, we sometimes have to employ an ice chipper.

Grrr, indeed.
