Winter Has Arrived

We had the first real snow of the season yesterday.  I had been telling Matt that we probably wouldn't have snow until December but he didn't believe me.  I am glad it held off this long and hopefully we won't get dumped on this year the way Minnesota did last year.  We found out today that snow blowing isn't as fun or as easy as it looks.  Some of this might have to do with our particular snow blower which we bought used off of craig's list.  The other part of it is that we don't know anything about snow blowing and are finding out as we go things like wet snow clogs up the blower and you have to go super slow in the lowest gear.  Who knew? The worst part of it all is that we have many, many feet of sidewalk we are responsible for which might as well be an ice skating rink.  Luckily our nice neighbor from across the street came over to tell us where we can get a free salt and sand.
