We briefly hit 34°F this afternoon, with some sun through the clouds. I was able to break up and shovel away more ice, but there were still some thick ice patches on the slope going up to the road.
I had to go out to the stores tonight to stock up. One of them was Costco, so there was a lot to bring in. Rather than carry it down from the street in a series of trips I decided to risk bringing the van down the hill. I made it down just fine and unloaded, but when I tried to get back to the street the van couldn't get past the last icy spot. So, the van is in the driveway, back down at the bottom. I don't anticipate getting it out until Tuesday at the earliest.
My wife's car is still on the street, so we're not marooned. But that's how the weather is affecting me today.
