Shoveled out the front stoop & walkway, steps down to the road, and cars. Also cleared the pavement around the cars. After that, we went out and shoveled out our elderly neighbor and his wife. The wind was whipping like a mofo, but I had on my Dr. Zhivago hat, Patagonia fleece jacket, tall fleece-lined boots, and toasty warm LL Bean mittens. And, of course, a Patagonia Wool4 baselayer top! Worked up a good sweat. The kids in the neighborhood are annoyed because DH shoveled a path across the street so we could put some of our shoveled snow into one of the established piles. Now they can't sled down the road (trust me, they have alternatives, as the block over is a similar steep hill that also hasn't seen a plow)
Tomorrow, I'm going to try the NY Catapult Snow Launch Move!
7, my dad was an IBMer (retired after 30 years). For a couple years in the late 60s, he worked at IBM/White Plains. We lived in Yorktown Heights at the time; Dad ended up getting transferred back to IBM/Pittsburgh because my mom was homesick.
