All the shoveling I did yesterday to dig out the
woodracks apparently was for naught. It's all buried again.

All those nice paths I cut and heaved out of the way . .
. for the next storm. |
Ah well, I've still got that
"emergency" stash out back
under the lean-to. |

We'll dig out the vehicles tomorrow morning, I guess,
after Bob Donovan's plows comes through. |

I got the woodracks shoveled out again, front and back
sides, just after the snow turned into freezing rain, but what I didn't
get to has now frozen solid like cement. (Dec. 18, 2007) |
Donovan's plow guys came back yesterday to clean up the lot
with a front end bucket loader. Short of heavy equipment, there's no moving
this icepack until we see temperatures above this deep freeze. |
Even the ice on the roofs of our vehicles between roof
racks is impenetrable without damaging the vehicles. It's as if
the ice has become bonded to the roofs. |

Though it's sunny today, the high temperature is only in
the low-20s in the early afternoon. It'll be a while before I can
chop away at the ice covering and blocking the wood racks. |
I'm grateful to Donovan's plow guys for sanding the
icepack covering the parking lot and
relocating some
of the mountain of snow in front of Chip Ahoy -- at least I can see it
now to get a photo. |
Before the first storm I added the second (brown) tarp
over the full tarp. The blue one appeared to be a bit thin in
spots, almost threadbare. Toby's lobster boat, "Firewood," fared
well with its solid wooden frame and old sails for covering. |
