Snow Day
It snowed most of the day although the size of flakes toward late afternoon diminished. How can piles of snow consume so much time? Everything is in the timing. If you go out too soon you'll double the amount of time needed to brush the snow off your car.
We live in a condo development so shoveling the walkways or driveways is left up to the association. But you are responsible for getting your car out of its designated parking spot so that when the plow arrives you are out. Fortunately when I leave my spot I can park on the side of the road--still within the condo confines.
Sometimes the plow drivers can't help piling the snow in front of your car meaning that getting a car out entails shoveling. If you own a gas guzzler with big wheels getting out is usually only a matter of bullying your way over and through the snow. If you own a sedan with decent mileage getting out always entails shoveling.
What I do like about snowy days is the spirit of camaraderie.
We bought snow brums-- yes, that is the correct spelling. It's an incredible broom that pushes the snow off a car. It is made of " high grade durable foam and cross linked polyethylene." While one neighbor shoveled out my wheels which were buried in deep snow, I snow brushed another neighbor's car. He had a knee replacement earlier this week.
The same shoveling neighbor raked roofs. The plow came and shoveled our parking spots and we all moved back into our designated spots and our designated homes.
More snow is predicted for the weekend when camaraderie will once again appear. It's a seasonal event.
