It is a heavy snow....layered with ice and hard to shovel.
I went outside to brush off the snow (especially the ice) off my arborvitaes. They were already leaning and showing the exposed deadwood in the center. If you have a chance check on your arbs (very common plant here) and try to take off the ice...sometimes they don't recover and "bounce back" to their upright position if the ice is left on them too long.
I would say we have about 6 inches but we have close to 8 inches at the end of my driveway from the plows going by. My snow removal guy is coming in 2 hours. As my husband put it F....this I am not going out there and shoveling or using the snow blower plus he works from home and can't go out now to remove the snow anyway. I could do it but I'd rather pay someone. Call me lazy or whatever I don't care I am warm and toasty in my house working from home today. It's lightly snowing again now.
What I find interesting and a reflection of current society, is watching the two neighbors on my street use their snowblowers and stop at their property lines on the sidewalk, turn around and walk back. Won't even snowblow 2 inches of their neighbor's sidewalk.
I'll happily shovel my own. But these two neighbors live next to senior citizens. If I had a snowblower I'd do the sidewalks of at least two houses on either side of my house.
