Fun in the Ice

It's been a funny winter, here in the Boston area. Here it is, mid-February, and we still haven't had a proper snowfall. On the other hand, yesterday was a carnival of sleet, sleet mixed with snow, and freezing sleet. Last night and today, everything was ice—including the snowplow ridges at the ends of the driveways. Ours was no treat to get out of, but we were better off than a neighbor who decided to drive over the ridge.

Here is the result, caught by my cell phone camera.

I keep telling people up your way to send some of that South, but nooooo. Nobody ever listens :p

I was literally using a pick-axe to try and clear the sidewalk.

Our neighbor tried to use a pick-axe and succeeded only in breaking the handle. Fortunately, the weather has been milder than predicted the last couple of days, so we've been able to make progress in clearing the stuff away.
