After how beautiful thick snowfall last weekend, we were pleasantly surprised to see there was still snow on the trees the following morning. Normally the overnight winds would have ensured there was snow only on the ground by morning.

What we hadn’t appreciated until we attempted to drive up our driveway was that cold temperatures overnight had frozen the snow to whatever surface it covered. The driveway becoming a sheet of ice.

It took my very persistent son and I half an hour of shattering and scrapping the ice before we made it up the driveway – it was NOT pretty. When we did finally made it I don’t know if we more relieved or shocked, lol!
