Shoveled in grubby sweats, came in - showered & dressed, and all was covered in less than an hour. But I may not high-center in the driveway at least. I'm just not up to moving that much snow. Shifted it a bit.
Our driveway is narrow, and the renter of our neighbor's house doesn't have a car, so it's just my traffic. Coming in last night unnerved me a bit.
Second time. The pile on the "lawn" is deeper. Notice the cairns? Oh, wait, nevermind, they are under a foot of snow.
Moby wanted out, so, warm from shoveling, I sat on the porch as he sniffed and explored, walked along the edge. Not worried about him wandering off today.
Next week, taking off. Not going anywhere, just not going to work. Taking a garden planning class on Groundhog Day, from the community garden folks. The one last year on beginning organic gardening was incredibly helpful.
I really need time away in a chunk. Work usually slows down this time of year - not this time. Feeling worn out by long hours and snow removal. Hardest bit, the mountains are not getting enough - so our water supply snow pack is far below average.

Oy, that does look unnerving!
I'm taking tomorrow off, not as rejuvenating as a week, of course, but I'll get to have a nap.
We had an exceptionally dry summer last summer, so the extra precipitation we are getting here this winter is going to make the farmers quite happy.
Have fun at the garden planning class. I may have to stick with container gardening as the one and only spot in my yard that gets sufficient sun is on my back deck.
odd that the mountains are not getting their share
Time off in reasonable bulk sounds really good for you.
Enjoy the garden planning class.
