This is ice. It is impossible to use the snow blower as it won't pick it up. Shovel won't get through it. Luckily we both have good 4 wheel drive vehicles and can drive over this in the driveway. I've dropped 50 lb of salt on it already. It is just now getting above freezing so hopefully this won't be too bad for too long. But in the argument about northern winter over southern summer: I can go out in both. I can do things in both. I will be uncomfortable in both, perhaps. But in Florida I put on my shorts and go out. Here I snowblow for an hour, shovel, spread 50-100 lb of salt, drive 3 mph and risk lots of accidents to go out. I can't wait to move south for good.
We are on Wachusett Mountain and this isn't helping their skiing. People prefer powder to ice sheets.
