About Last Weekend-- Part 3: Burning Leaves, 8-inches Snow, Pancakes, Snowblower and Sunnyside

SUNDAY, APRIL 14

With some difficulty, I was able to burn some leaves in the backyard before the forecast inch of snow started.  I came in when it started.  My working conditions specifically say I don't have to work outside when it is snowing.

And, that one-inch was soon on the ground with no signs of stopping.  When we drove over to the Spring Grove fire station for the annual Explorers pancake breakfast, there was a little snow now on the streets, but nothing too bad.

It cost $6 for auce pancakes, sausage and drinks.  By the time we finished about 30 minutes later, we went outside to find the car covered with two inches of snow and the streets nearly impassable.  I don't drive too bad in the snow, but this was a real hard drive home.

Hey, April 14th winter.  Come on!!

And, it kept snowing.  We figure, judging by the accumulation on the deck rails that we received eight inches of the white stuff.  I fired up the snowblower and cleared the driveway.  I didn't have to as the rest of the week was supposed to be 50 degrees plus, but this was an opportunity to run the oil/gas mixture out of it.

By then, the streets in our subdivision were clear of snow an we went over to Sunnyside in Johnsburg.
