The storm overnight brought snow and then wind and then big drifts of snow. I fired up the snowblower this morning at 7 and cleaned the driveway, in front of the mailbox, and the sidewalks before Nina left for the Womens Correctional Center at 7:30 a.m. I left for church at about 8:45 and thought I’d put the garage door down, but when I got home at 12:15 the door was up and the snow was now seriously in the garage. Out came the snowblower and the foot-high drift in the garage along with the snow on the driveway were moved onto the front yard. It stopped snowing about 2 this afternoon but some serious wind continued to blow through most of the afternoon. This is Nina’s week to go back up the prison for meetings this evening, so once again I was out with the snowblower moving the drift from in front of the garage and then cleaning off the front porch and walkway before she had to leave at 6:30. I’m tired this evening! It’s now about 7:30 p.m. and another small storm is making its way through Pocatello and eastward. The winds are out of the south at about 20 mph, down considerably from the 35-40 mph winds this afternoon. Whatever happens, I’m through blowing snow for the day! It’s about this time of the year when I decide once again that there are better things than snowblowers — like living where there isn’t any snow? That would also leave Kentucky out of the picture, wouldn’t it, Jim?
