Sounds like fun. I pay $305.00 per season to get my drive way cleared. It might be 60 ft. long.
I am a full acre back from the road and it curves to the west a bit. Total length 380'
I've got a small snowblower for if and when the bigger one breaks down.

-26F right now and no snow in the forecast. We did get a little bit (2") from the last storm that hammered Toronto, Montreal and the Maritimes. It was basically a waste of fuel to bother blowing the laneway, but the neighbour was freaking out because the plow leaves a bit of a windrow across her driveway and she had to go out.

Freezing. No, really - 33F/0C, snowing lightly but consistently ever since I woke up at 0500, about 2"/50mm on the ground.

Above zero again with drizzle and winds. And really slippery due to ice.

Crappy winter so far.

It depends, I like it better when there's snow in the winter and cold.

Är rätt van vid att ha riktiga vintrar här uppe i Västernorrland, sist det var så här milt var väl runt 10 år sedan eller nåt.

You are right! Personligen tycker jag om snö,och är van vid det,förvisso kommer det inte så mycket här i Stockholm där jag bor,det var mer förr,så då åkte jag bil eller tåg upp till fjällen och åkte skidor under många år,

Especially with your game knee.

You can still ski, just not this winter.
