Thaw

It looks like we may be having a thaw. Went without a coat this morning and Bill played golf yesterday. But in front of the shop there is an 18" wide band of snow and ice between the sidewalk and the street. So when you get out of your car, you expect it to be safe. Then you try to get up on the curb and BINGO, down you go. We cut a trench at one parking place in front of the store, so you can walk behind the cars and come up one parking space and find access to the sidewalk. It took over half an hour to cut that trench, so it is enough for me. Walk around. Several of us cut those openings. It will be nice when the thaw hits the south side of the street. Happens to us every time it snows and ices. Should be used to it by now, but it always surprises me that it lingers so long. Still, it gives the birds a place to drink.
