Boy the weather this morning sure makes me think of Mississippi! The weatherman keeps saying it's Tupelo in Columbia. What a nice day to stay in the house!
Woke to a big white surprise yesterday morning but by 11:30 I finally had most of it cleaned off the road. Had a problem when a mounting bolt fell out of one of the snow plow brackets. Caused an extra trip or two because snow was being pushed out both sides of the blade. After I got it all plowed I spread 50 lbs. of salt on the two hills then drove up to the little store for some ATV gas. Our road was by far in better shape than the state road!
I noticed that even Nelson had to check the roads by driving out and I guess going to town. The pickup that he is driving is only a two wheel drive so our cleaned road enabled him to get out.
They're not so lucky on Memory Lane. On my walk I noticed where someone had been in the ditch over there. Our next door neighbor didn't drive out but looking at the footprints it appeared someone walked to the top of the hill and was picked up by a car. Anyway, where the footprints ended I saw where a car had turned around up there.
