I just got finished shoveling the driveway behind my SUV including the 5-foot berm the snow plow left. Just as I finished the snow plow came by and left a 2-foot berm. I was able to shovel it away before it froze into a solid mass. The official reporting for my area shows the heaviest snow in the state with 40 inches accumulation. I piled the snow on the front garden area where I have an apple, 5 blueberry and 2 nanking cherries planted. The snow will melt and help keep the ground wet down deep after the ground freezes and prevents drainage later in the winter.

A REAL gardener can always find a silver lining under the most adverse of conditions. Good for you.
