Bring on the Rotaries!
Dec. 30th, 2012 05:31 pmWe got about 2 cm accumulated snow last night, which I know is nothing compared to what ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gerisullivan is dealing with. But the walk still needs to be cleared. After a cup of tea to fortify myself this morning, I got the small broom and began sweeping the sidewalk between the trailer and the house. After I was about one-third of the way there, Lisa came out with travelswithkuma to encourage me.

Finally in the chores department, I got out the flat-blade shovel and chipped away as the accumulated icy spots and dug up the small snowbank that was forming under the travel trailer, swept away the water that was accumulating in the walkway (it won't drain properly in one spot), then spread more de-icing salt there so that it won't freeze back up again tonight. The weather forecast is for overnight lows of -14° C with a high of 0 or +1, so we need to watch out for ice. Living in a place that gets an actual winter is something I haven't done for some years (aside from some time in Mehama), and I'm being extra careful, as wiping out on an icy sidewalk and breaking something is not in my plans.
