The entire eastern seaboard was pummeled by a powerful “nor’easter” yesterday.  The two feet of snow that was forecasted for our area missed us by about 30 miles as the blizzard veered inland when it reached Massachusetts.  Even still, we got more than our fair share before it turned into freezing rain.  I had the good sense to clear a major portion of the drive last night before the rain arrived. The ice-caked snow that remained this morning was impervious to our snowblower and after replacing two shear pins I decided to let the sun do its work before making another attempt.
