SNOW REMOVAL IN LOUDOUN COUNTY VIRGINIA - STAGE TWO OF THE BLIZZARD OF 2010.

WHAT A MONTH IT HAS BEEN.  66 inches of snow at Dulles is the closest official measurement I can find and that sounds about right for my home in Lovettsville. 

The first stage of survival in "The Blizzard of 2010", was February 9.  Enjoy. 

SNOW REMOVAL IN LOUDOUN COUNTY VIRGINIA - ADVANCED SNOW BLOWERS - PEACE OF MIND.

THAT WASN'T THE END OF IT.  The snow came down again all day yesterday.  Another 2 feet with winds up to 35 miles per hour and gusts up to 50 miles per hour.  Happily, I didn't lose electricity which was a real concern. 

SO, WITH ANOTHER 2 FEET ON MY DRIVEWAY, Jeremy had to revisit.  Today, one of his guys came in with a plow and cleaned my driveway - again.  The guys are so good.  They are here in the 95 F. summer heat to cut grass, trim flower beds and pull weeds and now ,in winter, to keep my driveway clear so I'm not really a prisoner in my own home.  Not that I have to go anywhere.  It's just good to know that I could if necessary.

    That was a lot of snow.  Of course, it's still here.  It's jut been shoveled to the side where I'm hoping it melts before the tulips and daffidils are ready to peek through the mulch in April.  I've got about 4 feet on my deck and 3 feet on the front stoop.  We'll be coming and going by the garage door for the near future.

    The snow on the deck is awesome.                         The front stoop is, of course, useless.

    Lenn, I heard that another blizzard was headed for the East Coast and thought about you and your first post on snow removal. Glad this one was easier. I wish we had someone we could depend on like your crew!

    Jeanean.  These guys are wonderful.  They've done the yard work for me since I moved in in Feb. 2006.  I rely on the totally. 

    Russell.  It's beautiful out today.  I could get out but I don't see any reason to put another vehicle on the road.

    My back hurts in sympathy for everyone who has been digging out of this mess.  Our roads in Belmont Bay are clear but I suspect that as soon as I leave the confines of our private streets that I will encounter a mess.  Someone suggested more snow next Monday.  I am not amused.

    I spent some time shoveling yesterday (about 8 inches just in a few hours). I was panicked because I had to pick up my daughter. So I was feverishly shoveling and then my wonderful neighbor came over with his snowblower and helped me finish, and very quickly. I have some very wonderful neighbors!

    Barb.  Indeed you do.  Those snow blowers appear to be wonderful machines.  I may look into them later.

    Cindy.  I'm no amused either.

    Hello again Lenn and I would like to speak with you some time about sprucing my posts up to get them featured once and a while. I have had two posts featured by the Gods and then taken away recently.

    Whoa, that front stoop looks pretty dangerous! Hope the snow melts quickly, Lenn!

    Julie.  Don't know.  I just take it day to day now.

    Robert.  I don't know what you mean by: "PS  - That story has been posted!"

    Robert.  Call me.   I have some ideas.

    Renee.  I don't know.  If I have a choice between my home on a lot with 5 feet of snow or my home on a hillside in danger of a mud slide, I'll take the snow.
