Working on it

Greetings for the meetings.

Yesterday I spent a few hours out of the house. I helped my supervisor clear some of the sidewalks at the building. A lot of places are still closed or delayed today. It looks like they should be. Most of the main roads are clear. The only problem is getting to them. Most of the neighborhood side streets still had ice on them.

Wendy and I did make to my station of work. Then my supervisor, another guy, and I spent the majority of the day cleaning of the sidewalks. It was pretty tough. The hard part was the layer of ice stuck to the sidewalk. You had to take a shovel and chip away before you can move the snow. We got the sidewalks clear. My supervisor had a crew come in and clear the parking lot. Wendy and I left at 3 and I guess they still worked until close to 5.

The building is under a two hour delay this morning. That is good because the temperatures are still cold. It is supposed to be rainy today, but over freezing. Then the warm up begins. Well until Friday where there is a chance for more wintry mix.

Something that surprised me was there was a few people at work yesterday. Granted they did not stay long, but they were still there. If I had not have to helped with cleaning the sidewalks, I would not have been there. I guess some people cannot stay away.

Wendy and I came back to the house and I tried to shovel my driveway. Our driveway is a slope. Mistake number one. All I have is a small digging shovel. Mistake number two. I will get a snow shovel. Hopefully I can wait until they are cheap and not overpriced. After a few attempts I was successful in getting Wendy's car out of the driveway.

To paraphrase an old song... "Take this snow and shove it."
