We had a Spring surprise on Saturday 3/23/24-a major winter storm with ICE..

The biggest issue with this snowstorm was the freezing rain and ice that formed on the trees and power lines. Nothing like the ice storm of of December 2008. But with such a mild winter, the utilities and towns were taken by surprise. I was lucky enough to have such a kind neighbor who cleared part of my driveway and my mailbox. My car was encased in ice and he had shoveled a path to the drivers door....he deserves a medal! As a card I received from a friend of mine says"plant kindness and harvest gratitude".
It is sunny today, and has helped the cement like snow to be easier to cut through. The snow that came off the roof would have made great snow blocks for making an igloo. But not much fun to try to cut and shovel.
