So it was a beautiful day one day in the middle of last week. Temps into the mid 40s, birds were out in droves and the snow did a lot of melting. Then the thermometer took a dive and the slush became solid ice. A bit of freezing rain on top and then a bit of non-freezing rain yields a slightly bumpy but oh, so slippery driveway that even Obie (with four-paw drive) has trouble negotiating.
Funny thing was, on that beautiful day, I heard neighbor Scott down the road running his skid loader. Wondered why he was plowing his driveway on such a beautiful day. Didn't he know it was all melting? Of course, as it turns out, it wasn't what Scott didn't know, but rather what I didn't know. So there we have it, another lesson added to the ranks of "the hard way" is that, when the snow becomes two inches of slush, take time to plow it away.
