I just spent 5.5 hours behind the snowblower just to get the front drive cleared… well I put in 1.75 hours helping the neighbor get some of his cleared so he could get in and out of his garage. The drifts there were 4+ feet and packed pertty hard… but got him cleared. My drifts were only about 3 ft… on most of the drive…ha!
We lost power yesterday at about 11:30am… got it back about 9:30am today. Fortunate the house has 3 gas fireplaces that work with out electricity so we had plenty of heat and hot water… other than it got damn dark with no lights and only candles… so bed early… up early and out to run the blower…
This was when the storem just got started good…
The back door drift.
Got the walk to the front door done…
The top of the blades for the snowblower are 24 inches… the stack behind was about 36inches… and at this point I am only 1/2 way done..
Because I-25 is closed going north… this is what happens… this is yet 3 miles south of the divide
Can’t get it plowed till they can get all teh stuck cars out of the way. Borrowed from the Town of Monument posts on Facebook.
