Re: Is there light at the end of the weather tunnel?
I'm almost buried up here in the Northern Sierra. Four to five feet of snow now. Too much to get to the woodshed now, I'll have to use the door that is closer and bring wood thru the house and put out on the deck as the one door is only 20' from the woodshed and I only had to spend 20 minutes clearing snow from in front of it and a path to the woodshed. On my snowshoes. Snowing again, my 30 year old fridge is toast I think, what with the power outages, runs a while but doesn't get the inside cold enough.
Piece of cake.

Sounds like your woodshed is now your short-term fridge as well..hikerduane wrote:Snowing again, my 30 year old fridge is toast I think, what with the power outages, runs a while but doesn't get the inside cold enough.

Daily routine:
Get up, get dressed, eat breakfast
Fire up the snowblower and clear driveway and berm. Brush snow off car.
Go to work
Brush snow off car, return home. Park car on street because I can't get in driveway.
Fire up the snowblower and clear driveway so I can park the car.
Eat dinner, change clothes.
Refuel snowblower.
Go to bed
Repeat.
I keep telling myself the paddling and hiking the backcountry will be spectacular this summer...

When I still worked in town, that is what I had to do also, but throw in shoveling snow at work, do paperwork, shovel snow, finish paperwork, go home.
Piece of cake.
