said by LadyL  :...plus the city plow came by...that's 10" of snow in my driveway! All nice and tight! That's when I break out the Cub... with the 40" snowblower attachment on it. With the chains, extra weight and a full 16 hp. those "log jams" left by the plows at the end of the drive are no problem. I just let it creep through the pile and it clears that stuff with no sweat. I also try to go along the curb, in the street, to let the plow operators know exactly where the curb is and it cuts down on the size of the pile they leave at the end of the drive. It never seems to fail... no matter how long I stall before cleaning off the drive, as soon as I'm done, the plow goes by and leaves its "deposit" right at the end. It's just a small annoyance for me now. It used to be a real PITA when I had just a shovel. Fortunately, those days are long gone for me now.

| The snow had stopped late last night. Left about 2-1/2".
Son will probably come by again to do the driveway.
When my husband was still healthy, he would use the snowblower. When his health got worse, son would come over and use the snowblower, etc. Son had purchased a used truck w/plow from a guy in PA about 1 yr after his Dad had died (died - '06), and has used it to plow my drive, nextdoor neighbor's, old lady across the street, then he goes to his in-law's house.  Such a good son! When the weather is 'normal'  , he and his oldest son (now age 14)come over and mow the lawn. When it is really high/thick...he puts his riding mower in the back of same truck and just does his thing!
