Snow as Crusty Glop

So it started snowing yesterday and was supposed to warm up to rain. It did in downtown Salmon Arm, but up here in little Siberia it just kept on snowing and snowing and snowing. It was wet snow, so the snow on the ground was glop, but was it melting away? No, it was not.

So I called my snow shovelly guy, and he cleared the driveway so that it won't freeze in crusty crusts.

It has since warmed up to +3 C, but tomorrow night is meant to get to -5 C or so, which will freeze whatever is left by then. If I had driven through whatever was left, the ruts would still be there come spring. This is not my first rodeo.[1]

[1] do you pronounce it Roaddeeoh, or Roedayoh? I do both, but the first is for everyday, and the second is for making a point.
