I haven't ventured outside today, but it looks like maybe a couple inches. I'll only shovel my side so I don't drive over it on the way to work.
The neighbor that has been plowing our driveway just called. He was driving his plow to his apartments...the car in front of him spun, he spun trying to avoid, and ended up hitting a fire truck. So he's going to borrow our big blower in the morning. My little one wouldn't start yesterday, so I think I'll put it in the garage to warm up. I think it is a woos this year.
Did you and the boys get some turkey today?

Glad we’re not talking feet of snow. Nice neighbor you got there and very glad he’s OK. ;D
Yes indeed we did have turkey with all the trimmings today. Dinner with family was nice and I didn’t have to do all the cooking. A very laid back day all in all.
