30 cm of Snow!!!


Seb is away for several weeks on business in Germany and as such, "his" jobs are delegated to me. This includes the kitty litter, the garbage and shovelling the driveway. Please note that every year I ask him to pay for snow shovelling service but he declines because he likes the exercise. In any case, he's away and we have no service. :-) Ottawa got 30 cm of snow between Fri afternoon and Sat morning. Here's how my morning went: got up and started shovelling snow plow ridge at end of driveway at 7am, finished at 730am, put on running clothes for 8am class. Decided to take a run for it, from garage to road, trusting snow tires would do the trick. (Only had time to shovel the snow plow ridge at edge of road but not the actual 30 cm in driveway.) Got stuck. Proceeded to shovel car out and rest of driveway. Snowplow came again. Shovelled more. Tried to move car several times but was spinning on ice. Had to call Rebecca and Phil to give me a push. Missed running. Spent entire morning shovelling and cursing husband.
