These are good pics. I tried to explain to my MIL from MD why I leave packed snow on the driveway (down there you scrape all day to bare pavement after the storm and then the sun dries it out). I told her this is what it looks like under the snow on my driveway and I think she gets it now.

My driveway is dirt b/c it's so long.  Typically, if it's not frozen on the first plow, it gets dug up and makes a lot more spring work for me trying to fix it so I try to leave the first storm's snow and spend 30 minutes driving back and forth packing it down to harden it up.  Add the past few storms plus the rain from yesterday, the sun angle and the shade from the trees, it's bulletproof until at least late March at this point I'm guessing.

My driveway isn't long but it is gravel too.  I set my snowblower a little bit high the first go round because if I don't it becomes a machine gun.  I need it to stay packed snow.

Ha, yup I know that sound.  I cringe just thinking about it.

Up until 10 yrs ago, Mine was gravel too and i would just leave some snow on it, I usually leave the snow until its done if it looks like we will finish with showers or drizzle, But we had 0.85" of rain after 6" of snow so it was not going to matter this time around, I was kind of hoping the clippper tomorrow would have helped with 1-2" but that looks to stay north of here now.

I’m just taking a break. Hopefully something comes up. 

We might need to make an animated FINISH HIM! gif of when the guy is teetering off balance waiting for the fatality but with a Scooter face on him.

It’s not even a melt, but everyone is at each other’s throats and it’s just a waste of time until something looks more imminent.
