The previous snowfall had melted down to almost nothing but we knew a bigger storm was coming. It started sometime during Friday night and by the time I woke up Saturday morning there was a brand new coating about eight inches deep.
That meant I needed to clear snow off the solar panels. That meant I needed to go outside. Sigh. Okay. Boots, coat, hat, gloves. Now, what do I use to clear the snow? The best I could come up with was my umbrella, still rolled up, of course. The shovel probably would have done too much scratching. It got the job done somewhat adequately even though I pulled snow down onto myself a few times.
It’s almost 10 AM and it has warmed up enough that clumps pf snow are beginning to fall off the trees, but there’s light snow falling and it might turn into heavier snow. But, hey, it’s an adventure, a story to tell.
Timing is everything, we went through Flag Tuesday on our way back to Washington, clear and warm. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteGonna have to add some kind of a plastic sweep with a long handle to your collection you only use once in a while, but when you need it, you need it.

DeleteThe snow was dense and heavy so it needed something rigid to move it. A long handled window squeegee might have done the trick. Or a snow plow.
