We got about 5" on Saturday, and it looks like we'll get another 5" today. The town plow is out there now, tearing up the first ten feet of my lawn. On the plus side, they plow several hundred pounds of crushed stone onto my lawn, so in the spring I go out and shovel it up. I hope they don't start billing me for it. I guess I could complain, but then the driver would probably bring the truck right up to my door.

It’s a risk, reward world out there, Jerry. Embrace the dream! 😎⛄️
Same thing here in New Hampshire. My house is on a gentle curve but the snowplow driver pretty much goes straight onto my lawn until he finally realizes he has to turn the wheel. Taking a cue from my neighbors I bought a few of those orange, reflective rods and sunk them in the ground about 12" off the edge of the pavement along the curve. Seemed to work as he plowed right up to them but didn't hit them. Once there's a snow embankment established, they follow that when they plow.

Would the stone keep the grass from growing, a plus in my book, Bob.
I wouldn't mind having 5" at my age!
OK, a bad joke that I couldn't resist, lol!

I can spare 5" from me, my wife will thank you. ---- OK, another bad joke, I couldn't resist either. :-)
We've been dealing with a massive solar spill here in San Diego.
Right now in Anchorage, it's 49 degrees and most of the snow we had is gone.

Nice fresh snow in the Catskills - got to be beautiful. Post some pics Jerry. Just dry, gray and cold here.
Most winters, at some point, my mailbox gets demolished by the snowplow.
