Calling in the Heavy Equipment

After 20-plus inches of snow and three snowstorms, our driveway looked like a halfpipe. Each day the husband scraped snow to either side. By Monday evening, the path had become too narrow for a car. On Tuesday, more snow and wind came. Today, we called in the big guns -- a full-sized tractor with an eight-foot snowblower. There's still snow on the driveway. Afterall, it is gravel. Scraping too deep would throw the gravel into the hayfield. But we have a somewhat fresh start as we watch the forecast for another storm that could come this weekend.
