We have had our first big snowstorm of the year since yesterday morning, which has dumped about a foot here. I blew 8 inches out of my driveway last night, and another 4 inches this morning. Fortunately, I had enough gas to mix up a batch for my snowblower so I'm set for this one and probably the next one too!
My daughter got her first experience driving in a big snow dump, and got stuck before she went 50 feet! We dug her out and got her going again (with an assist from a neighbor and her snowblower. She apparently made it to work, as I didn't get any other help calls from her - probably the main roads had been plowed by the time she left at 10:00.
There is enough firewood inside to last through the day, but I'll have to shovel a path to the woodpile to bring in more. I do love my woodstove!
Now I know that anyone from the UP or Wisconsin or Minnesota would probably laugh at a 12-inch snowfall, but here in central Michigan, that's a lot. School closings, snow emergency declarations, cancelled events - everything.
