This was my driveway this morning. Pretty!
Unfortunately, the weight of the snow on the trees had brought one down on the power lines, so the power was out. Also, I went to leave for work and someone in a rear wheel drive pickup had decided to back into our (downward sloping) driveway to turn around and then discovered that surprise! They couldn't move. So me, my spouse and a passing neighbour had to push a pickup out of the way before I could leave my house. We shoved and shoved while the wheels span, and managed to get him out onto the street where the truck promptly slid sideways down the camber and into the kerb. But at that point, he became Not My Problem. (My car with all wheel drive and winter tires drove past him effortlessly.)
I really love driving to work in the snow. The schools are closed and there's hardly any traffic, so I actually get there faster, and it's all so pretty and peaceful.
Fortunately the power came back on an hour before I got back from work. Spouse spent the day texting me photos of the cats on the cat beds which he lined up in front of the fireplace, that being the only source of heat.
He works from home remotely, so when the power's out, he gets a free day to tend the fire.
