M'ette, sorta planned it this way because leaf removal is done and usually we don't have so much snow until later in Jan. I figure a month to heal, even around Christmas is better than nothing. Given that month, I could clean the snow off the drive with no problem if I take it easy, but we have had 2 early storms with 2-3'+ total and more predicted so I will have to call someone to plow.
Remember, SNOW is a 4 letter word!
