Darel felt fine yesterday but frustrated with so much going on with the storm and the snow so high he couldn't see out the window. He walked out to the get together room windows a few times and all he saw was snow falling.
The CNA just called and is on her way. she wants to come early because she is trying to do two days visits in one. Darel is doing well enough so I thought she would skip him. Allison has come and gone, Darel is all set for the day eating breakfast. his pulse is good. the nurse and social worker are both coming so today won't drag.
The storm started Tuesday night at 10:30 for me. Gilbert meant me as i drove the tractor out to put wood on the fires. He had been through the driveway with his plow. While i put wood on the fires he bucketed out the driveway into the greenhouse. The wind died down quite a bit after midnight so I had no problem getting to the greenhouse at two and five to put wood on the fires. But while I was putting wood on the fires at two all the snow slide off the garage roof. it was a very heavy wet snow. There was no way I wanted to chance getting the tractor stuck by driving through it so I bucketed it away.
As Justin was backing in off the road planning to just get his truck off the road and walk in he lost the rear end. So Doug was called. Lexi got out of work at eleven and was afraid to drive home. Doug went to Brewer to get her. He wasn't too thrilled but was glad on the way home. Here in Bradford the drifts were bad enough so he wasn't sure her car would have gotten through. He started getting calls at six yesterday morning from people who needed to be plowed out, the snow was too heavy and wet for their regular plow guys. About 20 inches.
He got stuck in Lexi's driveway, had to get his skidder to get out. then blew the fan belt on the skidder. Said he better not get stuck again with nothing left to get him out. After a few people got stuck on Atkinson road he used his big old state plow truck to plow it. But it is too big for most driveways. I don't know where the town plow was. It snowed hard all day. Gilbert just kept plowing. he got stuck a couple times but was able to get out.
We lost a big branch off the pine tree. the phone and internet wires to the store hung it up. the wires were torn off the shop and hanging low. Andrew put Gilbert up in the bucket of his tractor and he sawed it down. Than he went up in the bucket and reattached the wires to the shop. Andrew got the snow off the hoop house before it totally collapsed. But it will need some repair before i can put plants in it April 2ed.
Carol stayed here. She was pretty sure her driveway wouldn't get plowed for her to go to work today. i bucketed out her car. Gilbert finished and did some shoveling so she could get out this morning. When Doug came over to get hay for the cows he cleaned out the end of the driveway so she wouldn't get stuck. Gilbert is plowing more of the driveway now.
Looking forward to a quiet day today, hope yours is a good one, Sally
