Of course it snowed, I just spent an hour uncovering the asphalt of the driveway because it was 0°C, and sunny.

With the slightly warmer sun I took the liberty of uncovering the drive to try to eliminate the slush, and ice patches. So obviously we got another 2 to 3 cm of snow to obliterate the work I just did. That is the way of things. If I hadn’t of done so I’d just have more ice, and snow to clear today anyway. It’s hard to overstate just how done with snow removal I am at this point in the season. What’s worse is that this particular point in time is still really early in the season to even pretend to hope for no more snow. We can have some form of accumulation into early April if the world wills it into being. Makes my desire to lose all the snow now that much more ridiculous. Disheartening at best. With any luck we can see the last of the aggressively cold days that get down into the low twenties or thirties. If it hovers around zero, I’d settle for that right about now. Oh! And more sunshine on average too. That I’d take in a heart beat.

The last few years we’ve had brief warming spells that were accompanied by lots of rain, making a real mess of everything.

Hold up, showers just broken. Gotta go shut off the water to the house, then figure out how to shut it off at the tap.

Found the brass valves behind the cartridge thing / hand valve assembly. Crisis averted. We have water throughout the rest of the house again, and no major running faucet. Bit of a drip though. Oh well, beggars can’t be choosers.
