Although I parked the Subaru at the end of the driveway near the road, I expected I would need to spend some time digging out to the road through the ridge of snow the plow leaves. Instead, when I got to the end of the driveway, I found the snow plow driver or a neighbor had already plowed clear the end of the drive, so it didn’t take me more than two minutes of digging to get the car free. Behind the cut, there is photo of what I would have been digging through.

I took this early this morning on my way home from grocery shopping. (I wanted to avoid the madding crowds.) In a process very similar to one of solving one of those sliding tile puzzles, we managed to free the truck and Subaru with minimal digging. (This process was helped by the truck’s 4WD and the Subaru’s AWD.) Since I had neglected to unhook the trailer from the truck, we had to park it where we could instead of its normal slot. Although at times I dislike how close our house it to the road, the short driveway with its southern exposure is great when we get a lot of snow.
