Dug out - twice
Yesterday afternoon Margaret & I spent about half an hour digging out - clearing the paths, removing all the snow from between the cars, and shovelling out all the “plow truck spillover” that blocked & filled the street in front of our driveway.
This morning, I had to do it all over again! Continuing wind yesterday filled in the paths and cars, and more truck plowing re-buried our driveway. Oh well, at least I didn’t run around with a snow blower waking the neighbours at 5:30am, like one of my neighbours did
Anyway, GBMINI got out and made it to work with minimal issues this morning. Quite a lot of DSC flashing on my street, but the highways were perfectly clear …

Today we are trying out a new design of MINI fuel cap:

Overall, our snow impact yesterday was minimal (unlike some parts of the East Coast) - hope no-one else suffered too much …

I ALMOST feel ashamed of SoCal’s weather. Almost.

yeah, on the way into Logan today the major roads were bone dry. My side street was down to the asphalt this AM, when it was 6 degrees F! The wonders of road salt.
I am totally surprised Logan is like a ghost town at this writing, it must have been chaotic early this AM; my flight however, is overbooked so I feel lucky I have a confirmed seat. Am heading to that sunny CA weather

Good to see your spirits are up, despite having to dig up all the white stuff.
I was in Chicago when I saw the news about the blizzard (we only got a bit of flurries) and thought of you.
Back home in SoCal now though . . . and not missing the cold!
Take care.
