Just got word that our suburban Boston district has a two hour delay tomorrow.
This is guaranteed to go badly.

I've completed reconnecting ChezToaster to the outside world; it's still snowing intermittently, so we will probably have a bit more cleanup to do this evening.

Rounds 4, 5 and 6: we had an additional ~ 5in snow overnight, so first clear the stairs and walk; second plow the paths, driveway and sidewalk. Round 5 was clear off and around the cars. Round 6 was punch through and clear the snow berm, which each side is now nearly 5 feet high.

Round 3 complete.
This was between 4" and a foot, because of the wind. It snowed about an inch in back (west side) while I was clearing the driveway and front walk.
The streetside plow berm is already about 4 feet high, so I'm telling tomorrow's repair appointment that we'll have to reschedule.

Round two complete.
The snow is blowing - a lot - which is frustrating. All 3 of us were out this cycle; 4 of the 5 batteries are recharging, we used 4 this round.
The plow finally made it to our street; the plow berm is currently 3-ish feet high at the end of the driveway.

Round 1 of snow clearing complete. About half an inch fell during the ~45min I was out. We'll head back out again once another 3 inches fall.

Today's drama: the old icicle lights for the front porch have, um, large unlit gaps. I checked, and they're the old Target Wonderyear incandescents. Into the trash! No more Target, no more incandescents.
Will be picking up some LED multicolored icicles at Ace tomorrow.
