I'd gladly give you some of ours... ;)  When it's good and cold, the
snowpack in the driveway is easy enough to drive on, but when it does
the semi-thaw, as it's doing now, the tires just spin in the stuff... If
I need to be anywhere, I have to park the car at the street end of the
drive, where we have a firmer footing... :)

Very odd storms this year, to be sure.  The ones in the north have
mostly stayed on the coast, not come in where we are...  And we haven't
had as much lake effect as we might, probably because it's been so
cold... 

Maybe you'll get more snow before the end... It looked like there were
some that were tracking closer to you...  :)
