Snow drifts, digging out, plowing and salting...

Some of the words that came to mind last night.... 

We learned a lot last night... I really didn't know what a snow drift was.. now I know... and I know they are dangerous when driving...thanks to  Brittany H.
 We dug out the Mountaineer.. it was under many feet of snow thanks to the neighborhood snow plowing service ( which plowed every driveway but ours...hmmm) Getting the bad end of the deal as renters..... We were looking around as we were the only ones shoveling our driveway, the others were clean of snow. And... they were going to tow our car (we learned from the neighbor) but instead they boxed it in with snow for us.. how nice of them...  Oh well.. it was a first, and hopefully a last, experience for us :) 




These boots are AWESOME!! Thank you so much Carole!! They were perfect for all of the following.. don't know what I would have done with out them!!  


LOVE the Hunter rain boots.. cute and very practical! They were a happy birthday from the Claytons.  




We have come along way since last winter... we really didn't know how the whole salt and snow situation worked... still a little unclear as to how much salt to use... but got it down.... Chris referred to my first attempt of  salting as like salting food... suggested maybe I use more salt :)

This would be our driveway when we came home from a night in Baskingridge...



I never knew shoveling a driveway was so physically taxing! Goodness that was hard work.. and Chris did most of it.. I was mainly there for the memory making and picture taking :)




Crazy how much snow there is! 




 Thought we would like to remember these moments years from now.. even though Chris would probably like to forget about them right now.. but I thought it was a good memory.. and good for the blog :) 
Whoever came up with the idea to put salt on snow/ ice to make it melt is a rich genius!! I don't know how in the world you would do it if you didn't know the salt secret!
