I shoveled out my long drive at the first Calamity Acres by hand... it was miserable, hard, back-breaking work. Even with the shoveling... I left the car parked at the end of the drive for a week, fearing to pull down to the house. I don't know how you are getting through this terrible winter in such good spirits. <br />Mary Annhttp://www.calamityacres.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-14266927104590102732015-02-20T16:15:10.815-05:002015-02-20T16:15:10.815-05:00oh. my. goodness! oh. my. goodness!

No matter which way the wind blew if drifted in half the driveway. And if it was a wild night the whole thing would be plugged. Looking at your driveway was despair embodied because there's just you and a shovel. Well done.

I wish I could come up there and help you, better yet I wish I could pull a big ole tractor out of the sky and give it to you cause YOU SOOOOO DESERVE IT!!!!! I would have said F***it - for sure. You are an admirable, determined woman. Amazing. Just amazing. However, can I just say one thing??? Your writing is incredible. I was seriously, right there with you, feeling your pain and your frustrations. Precious needs her ass kicked. You NEED a vacation in the tropics. And alcohol.

Just two long tracks in the snow. Also, there would be certain to be a farmer here with the right equipment if only I wouldnt rather poke my eye out than ask them for help.

After living at our farm for 34 years (shoveling a very long driveway) we broke down and got a snow blower. It has been getting a workout.

All we keep getting is good for nothing cold, and occasional snow flurries. Have to drive over three hours to find any decent snow to play in, and it's marginal. I'm sure playing in the snow is the last thing on your mind, after clearing it from that looong driveway. You deserve a nice warm vacation, or spring - whichever comes first!aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731529798233954353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-12719449694562904242015-02-17T16:50:42.902-05:002015-02-17T16:50:42.902-05:00Yikes.

Hubby could use the skid steer to dig and then plow and then dig and then plow...once we got to the road. Well, we had to wait for the gigantic town road grader to come through and a plow truck to follow.<br />That took 24 more hours after we dug ourselves out.<br />But then our wonderful township came in and made our driveway even larger.<br />I think I would have cussed and said F-it.<br />I admire your tenacity.Val Ewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11773318159420863765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-62126257728348835502015-02-17T16:18:18.031-05:002015-02-17T16:18:18.031-05:00I am feeling your pain- especially with the BC.

If I ever win the lottery I"m buying a big tractor with the snow blower. of course it would help if I bought lotto tickets......TeresaAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05311118900077951863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-58340795078295123812015-02-17T12:56:35.363-05:002015-02-17T12:56:35.363-05:00HOLY MOLY!!!!
