Day 9.355: Lost and found

We woke to the buzzing of our neighbors' large snow blowers and quite a lot of snow:

Not too surprisingly given the snow-rain-snow sandwich,it was quite heavy to move and not really within the capabilities of our little snow thrower although it did its best and lived to help another day.

It took us until lunchtime to declare the driveway passable, and until the sun was starting to go down again to achieve this:

Probably just as well we hadn't really planned to go anywhere today!
