More "Oog..."

I've lost five pounds this week, from the Recurring Spackle and Grout*. This started Sunday evening and the actual bug was most likely completely gone in under two days. However, anything which affects my gut causes lasting effects. Today I feel fine, though. If I can get my driveway cleared I'll be at gaming tonight.

However! When I cleared my front walk this morning there was a thin, hard layer of ice under the snow. If the currently weak sunlight can't thaw that, I won't be able to get my car up the driveway. :-(





*Old joke. Woman is having coffee with a friend when she asks about her host's husband. "Oh, he's in the bathroom with spackle and grout." "Oh, the poor dear," said the visitor, sympathetically. "My Jim had that all last week!"

Snowpocalypse Plow

Okay. Snow problem. That is, there's no problem with shoveling the snow, but there's a thin layer of ice tightly bonded to the concrete.

Where the sun hits that's melting, but the steepest part of the drive is in deep shade and will remain so until about Noon tomorrow.

Considering the narrow gap for the (currently low on the horizon due to Winter) sun to shine down, and the fact that we had considerable cloud from around 11 to 12:30, I'm not sure that area would have melted anyway.

I have two tracks shoveled. If those melt, I'll seriously consider heading to Lexington. That, however, doesn't seem likely.
