Surprise Surprise

Woke up to about six inches of snow yesterday morning. Happily went out with the snowshovel and cleared the driveway down to asphalt, though as it turned out a sunny afternoon melted much of the snow around town.

We are still at only about 75% of the normal snow pack, but this certainly helped.
