It seems I brought the warmth back with me from Palm Springs. It’s gotten up to about 7 or 8 degrees yesterday and today, and the snow and ice is retreating. Yesterday, it was warm enough that it melted all the snow from my roof. That let me take down my Christmas lights (finally). Today, I took a look at that ice buildup on the downspout that Tammy posted about, and removed almost all of it. It has almost completely melted when we spread the chunks on the walkway.
Ian and I shovelled the driveway… in reverse. We were spreading snow back onto the driveway and letting it melt. We managed to do quite a bit.
It felt good to be out. As you can see, it was warm enough to be in T-shirts when we were working. The forecast calls for more snow later in the week, but this will help get the front lawn uncovered faster.
Glad you got that down spout cleared.
