I hope she is able to get it done quickly!

Any chance of a heat wave to melt it anytime soon?

...so I'm very good at doing only a little
work, and very slowly. Good snow shoveling techniques. At 76 it took me two days to dig
out 2 cars. Then the plows return and fill the
end of your driveway again. On the bright side,
we never get hurricanes and tornadoes are very
rare. Wasn't going to the Bills game anyway.
The best part, the local news has cover the weather
24/7 no mention of the orange turd and anything
it might be saying....
