Snow Comes and Goes!?

The drive to work was nothing short of insane. It should not take 1.5 hours to get to work. People really do not know how do drive in the snow. We got more than 100" of it last year, how can you now know how to drive in it? Damn.

The drive home easier though. Using my off-the-main-roads route I got through downtown ok and in a good time. It actually was close to my normal drive time, maybe only 10 minutes longer. I was kinda disappointed really. I was listening to a podcast and was hoping I could get through it all in the car. Luck was not on my side there, but it helped my sanity somewhat.

Where luck was on my side was the sidewalk and the driveway. When I got home, I parked in the snowy street since I had to shovel the sidewalk. It's a pain to have to shovel off the snow after it's been compacted to hell and back by a car tire. It would be easier to use a ice pick than a shovel sometimes.

As I was getting out of the car, I had to do a double take. Were the hell was the snow on the sidewalk and driveway? I don't remember the wife saying she did it, and why do the lines look so clean? Someone had used a snow blower on the sidewalk and driveway.

Holy Hell! I was happy in that I didn't have to do it (well, I still had to shovel the path to the door and the roof. I would be really impressed to see a snow blower up there helping combat the damn ice dams.) and puzzled as to who did do it. Looking down the block, they had also done 2 of my neighbors sidewalks as well. Color me impressed!

The work was greatly reduced (my arm was thankful for that) and I got to play with the dogs in the back yard a bit. All in all, a good win. I only wish I knew who did it so I can thank them. Maybe next time it snows I will stay home and try to catch the good Samaritan in the act... I feel bad having someone doing the work and not being able to thank them!
