the plows are back

The plow is outside my house and sounds as though he's doing the driveway.  I'm not looking.  I de-iced my own drive this morning with my trusty box of kosher salt.  I keep one in the garage for emergencies like this one.  Why did I want to de-ice the driveway? So I could get across the street.

 I will spare you the ordeal of this woman in her seventh decade out with a broom and a shovel, exhuming her buried car this morning.  The plow came by about 3:am and cleared an opening in my driveway.  So after I finished moving enough snow to get into my car across the street (see yesterday's picture), I had a chance to test my Subaru Outback's all-wheel drive. Passed with flying colors.  Up and over the pile of snow behind me and into the street.  But oh, dear - I couldn't get into the driveway because the opening they cleared was narrower than the car.

Just then, the plowing supervisor came by and I flagged him down and told him my dilemma.  The shovel and bobcat crew were home asleep but I couldn't go back into the mountain of snow I had just gotten out of and I couldn't go into the driveway and couldn't leave my car on the street.
He very nicely plowed out the parking area enough for two cars, so I am back there until they clear my drive.  Phew!   32" of snow, folks!  The rest of the day I spent indoors. 
Brain is shutting down, so tonight, instead of thinking, I was just perusing  the freecycle lists that came in today and then checked Craigslist to see what was on offer. Very tempting.
