To the delight over just about everybody in the house, we had another big snow over the weekend. The flakes were huge and beautiful as they danced and fell around our yard. With the world so chaotic and on fire at the moment, it was wonderful to hide in the woods and just watch the snow fall.
The winters in Virginia have been lackluster for decades, so Scott and I both recognized that we were going to be unprepared for the heavy West Virginia snowfalls. On Friday we went on a hunt and purchased but I suspect was the last electric start snowblower in the state.
Yesterday we fired it up and it worked like a dream! Scott actually ended up taking it up the street to help out a neighbor who was struggling with the shovel. (The boys would have gone to help her but they were busy exploring the woods in the snow.) The snowblower was advertised as easy and light enough for the elderly and disabled. It's really nice when something actually works as advertised!
