I chickened out with the shoveling.

Oh I started but after 20 minutes and with no help at home (both sons away) I went back inside and I waited for the doorbell to ring. Didnt wait long so with the help of cash and three bottles of Poland Spring from my garage I am good to go. First time in 12 years out here I did that but it was money well spent. I did do the important
shoveling. My backyard deck (paving stones) so my dogs can do their business!!

Got up around 830 and the sun was shining in Huntington.

Made breakfast and finally got to diggin out 2 cars at 0947.

By 1000 my next door neighbor ran his snowblower up both sides of the driveway while I shoveled.

Basically all he needs to do is 2 passes on either side of the cars and the bulk of the snow is gone. Played a bit with the kids outside, threw on a clean t-shirt and off to the office to see patients at 1047.

@ office at 1107, Pinelawn and rte 110 are clean and wet NOW. Will ice up later. No accidents on the way to office but we'll see later as the temp falls....
