Snow plowing with canine supervision
John Deere hard at work
My husband running the snow-blower at dawn
In the past I have posted about how much easier it is to deal with snow in the country versus the city. For example, there is a car stuck on our street right now because there’s a foot of snow. Guaranteed we won’t be seeing a plow for awhile. We’ll be lucky if it gets done overnight, and even luckier if it’s done at all well. Our country road was always plowed very quickly.
Our road two days after a storm. The city was inundated with complaints.
PS: The snow was plowed around 9 p.m. We went out right afterwards and shoveled away the plow’s snowdrift.

I’ve never lived far enough north to have to shovel snow. Indeed, we’re lucky if we see snow every 5 or 7 years. It sounds like something you really have to plan for in your neck of the woods. Do people complain about the noise of snow blowers up there, like they do about leaf blowers down here?
No one would complain about the noise of snow clearing: it is so necessary — we aren’t mobile without it — and it isn’t as loud as a leaf blower in any case. And besides, most everybody is indoors in the winter, so you hardly hear it.
