    Seems to be happening all over your way! My brother lives in the Cincinnati, Ohio area and he sent me some pictures of everything covered in ice! Yeesh- we've had about 6 feet of snow this year, but no ice thankfully!

    It's snowing again here today after most of it melted, and it's cold. I can't wait for spring!

    In case anyone was wondering, I would rather shovel a foot of snow than push an inch of slush.

    This morning I got up early and shoveled 3-4 inches of dense powder, by 7:30 I had the driveway, sidewalk and stairs done.

    Then at 10:50 I went back out and got about 1/4 of the way done shoveling the next three inches - the top of the driveway, and two tracks down for Turtle (my car, a green CRV), when the neighbor kids came by and said "We'll finish it for you - we can do it all for $5." I said "sure!" as I had an appointment to give blood in a few minutes. I gave them $8, as there were four of them, told the eldest, Lexie - "That way you can each have two dollars." She said "Oh, we're raising money for our school!" Even though the youngest shoveler, Windsor, isn't old enough for school yet, he was shovelling quite seriously!

    They did a good job, just another inch had fallen when I got back. Late this afternoon, it turned to ice, and then rain, so by 3:30, I was out pushing an inch-plus of slush. I broke one shovel - snapped the handle off at the edge of the shovel part, it was heavy, and wet.

    It kept raining, now has frozen over. I have Ice Melt ready for the morning, and another dusting of snow has fallen on top of the ice.
