Snow Snow Lee where are you?

Lots of snow fell through the night and all day today. Its expected to continue through until tomorrow. I decided to get ahead of the game and did some removal today. This used to be Lee's job and she enjoyed it for the most part. If the equipment worked well , she was happy. I would take hot chocolate out to her and tell her she was doing a fine job even though I thought at  the time she could be doing it differently.

Snow removal is tricky. First off where is the wind blowing from and to and where do I start? The idea is to blow once and that's it. If I screw up and miscalculate I end up blowing the same snow several times. The old tractor had a cab. This newer John Deer does not. The blower is on the back so I have to drive it backwards and blow. I get a sore neck after a while. One hour is my limit and thank goodness I can get a lot done in that hour.  I had cleaned off the entire ramp in the morning then I filled it all back in with blown snow. I call it exercise when I do the second removal.

I miss Lee for lots of reasons and today is no exception. I'd give anything to look out the window and watch her.
