Dealing With The Weather

My efforts for dealing with the snow storm were very simple:  I stayed home.  I did not have anywhere I needed to go on Saturday. Sunday, I renewed on line the library books that were due. I shoveled the south half of my driveway: the melting was such that the north half had less than an inch of snow. I should have pushed it to the side, but my back was bothering me.  Most of the side walk was melted. I did clear a path for the mailman.

Shovel or Melt Part 2

On January 8, 2017, I had to go to a meeting, leaving the house mid-afternoon.  There was still a cover of snow on the driveway, where the sun is shaded from the ground by the house. About 2 hours later, I arrived home and almost all of that snow was melted.  Waiting to let the snow melt was not a bad thing to do.

Shovel or Melt

When I left work on 1/6/17, I was debating how to handle the snow in my driveway. Shovel or melt.  When I arrived home, the part of my driveway that was not blocked from the sun by the house was bare... That decided it.  I will let the atmosphere melt my driveway. The temperature today was above freezing, but most of the melting occurred where the sun shined.  That is okay. I believe the rest of the snow will melt in the next few days.
