Kind of a loaded question. 

 Just finished snow blowing sidewalks and my driveway and my neighbor’s driveway.  Four to five inches and still snowing in Olney.

Still snowing at a good clip in Olney.  I want to get ahead of the wind and cold blast coming this afternoon and clear the snow. I do not see how I avoid having to go out again later.

The Mowerman was at my house yesterday to tune up and start up the snowblower.  Perfect timing.
