On the Rocks

I am so wiped out at the moment. I have been outside, on and off, for almost 3 hours or is that 4? We were hit with an ice storm. Luckily we were not hit to bad. All and all we ended up with about a 1/10 of an inch while some areas to the South (where SignGurl works) saw up to a half inch of ice. Around where I am there are no people without power with over 20.000 customers without power down south. They may not see power restored until some time on Wednesday.


Now for todays lesson. We received 1 to 2 inches of snow. The next day we were expecting the ice storm. Do you shovel the snow or not? Well my neighbor shoveled including this 20 to 25 foot section of sidewalk between our properties. I was lazy, I opted not to shovel. Today I shoveled my property including the sidewalk between our properties. Now I am not going to tell you it was easy. It was a lot of work. My hair is a mess, I am so tired, and I need a shower. The part that had not been shoveled came up with not a ton of effort. The part that had been shoveled was terrible. I am so glad this was a small section to be done. I probably spent 20 to 25 percent of the time doing that little section. It was much harder then even the drive way that I had driven on and packed down the snow.

So what did we learn? Procrastinating is good. Well actually we learned that if we have a choice between ice on cement directly or ice on snow, leave the d*m snow go and get it later.


Susan, I've never heard you talk like that... Are we about to get it on? Because I'm as hard as a diamond in an ice storm right now. --Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
