Scraping Snow

I went over and picked up the box blade from Mr. Reece so I could scrape the snow drifts off the driveway. A box blade isn’t designed for snow removal but it will do in a pinch. We haven’t been to town since the ice came. The roads are salted and plowed but with the freezing drizzle we didn’t feel comfortable driving.

   Scraping downhill.

 

   I couldn’t scrape coming back up. There wasn’t enough traction and there was nowhere to put the snow up there.

It never did get cleared off completely. It’s supposed to be sunny tomorrow so the exposed gravel might heat up enough to melt some of it. I got the drifts out from in front of the garage so we should be able to get the van out now.
