We are now ready for snow

My snow tires had been sitting in the garage as had our 'not working' snowblower. Last night my dad came over to put on my snow tires and my husband mentioned that we were waiting for a buddy to come and fix the snow blower. After a quick check, he found out that some valves were closed and just needed opening. The pull start didn't work, but it has an electric start option. That started it. It still runs rough so it likely needs a spark plug, but other than that, it works. So while today is above freezing and what snow we got this week starts to melt, we are now ready for the next snowfall. Hopefully it is not the 20cm they are warning could be headed our way.

Rain is forecast for us this afternoon as well. I am hoping it is not too much, because everything will freeze again in a few days, and ice is no fun unless you are skating.

I saw that about the 20cm i'm glad it's not my way. We might just get an inch or something like that. The snow we did have already melted. Glad your prepared for winter, i have all season tires so i'm good.

We put studded snow tires on the car weeks and weeks ago. I am so glad we did. Our driveway access road is about a block and a half long. We have needed those tires since way before Christmas.
