Well….thanks again, Cosaire and Lil’Sister. I’m going to try to post the second half of our MegaStorm survival. Cross your fingers…..
DIDN’T WORK….sent me back to Page 1 with nothing on page 11. So I’m chopping it in half again…and try a second time tonite. This has become a CHALLEGE!

Meanwhile I dealt with a couple of horses in distress. Had to melt [with bare hands] some icicles off the eyelashes of the big one. He was in a lather – literally thrashing on the ground, then getting up to buck and rear. ??? Cuz part of the ice was dangling and whapping him in the eyeball! Uff Tah, that’s gotta hurt! I solved that for him, praying the maniac would hold still for a minute! Then he and his mate calmed down to eat. Got them dried and strapped her skinny old self into a coat. The whole time, wind coming from TWO directions and lot of snow content yet. They COULD have stayed in the 3-sided shed, y’know. {we’re gettin’ too old for this!!}
End result: We have lower hill and barnyard area cleared enough and melting, albeit slowly. The top very steep part of driveway is still in original condition with LOTS of inches. Snow levels ARE sinking down, compressing as the sunshine works on that area. The car is stuck up here by house until ….spring. LOL We were HAVING “spring” until this odd storm erupted. But it’s melting and we’ll be able to get DOWN the hill soon. ….not sure when we’ll be able to climb the car or truck back UP to house tho.
OldMtWoman …second “third” of storm report??
