On New Year's Day, I looked up and saw this 3' piece of ice/snow at the NE corner of my roof. It came down on 1/3/20
I spent a couple of hours pounding the ice off the driveway yesterday. In some areas it was 1.25" thick. This was after the storm Monday into Tuesday (Dec 30-31) and a couple of days where the temps were above freezing. It was in the low 40's yesterday but it took until about 3pm before the bottom of the icepack at the end of the driveway was warm enough to let loose of the ice. (pictures taken this morning after temps dropped back to freezing)
I'll have to spread sand on the driveway to the tent garage.
And here are the pathways in the back yard - ground has stayed cold enough that there wasn't any meltage from the temps or rain. I'll have to sand those too most likely.
Supposed to get several rounds of snow this coming week. Fortunately there isn't expected to be much accumulation.
Who would have thought that ice would have the tensile strength to withstand being cantilevered out that far? Yikes!
Good news for the new year: I discovered, this morning, that I still had my contacts preserved from 1/19/2019 which was, presumably, the last time my phone would sync with my (old) computer. You may recall that I had to import your dad's (at least) 2-year-old contacts from his old computer when he gave me my new computer - because I had, a couple of months previously, managed to wipe out my Outlook files. Too bad I never used Outlook on my phone so that I could have those email files. I'm just happy to have been able to import those additional contacts into my (new) computer - and - swap out my own version of contacts for the people whom your dad and I had in common.
While you've been getting the snow & blow, we've been having (mostly) sunny and (mostly) light winds - below 15 mph.

My first thought when I read "I discovered, this morning, that I still had my contacts preserved from 1/19/2019" was "why in the heck is she still buying cotacts, she hasn't worn them for years?"
Of course reading further revealed my mistake :)
Glad you found them so you have more up-to-date information.

Thanks for the chuckle, Bogie. I hadn't thought about the double meaning of my statement. At that, it took me a sec to catch up with you.
*chuckling*
