That was.... Work. Tam cleared the front walk and a path to the garage. I cleared a path to my car, brushed most of the snow from it, got in, started it up, and ran the defrosters while brushing off snow, scraping ice, and freeing up the windshield wipers. All while snow continued to fall.
Sweeping away snow drifting in the overhead door made a nice break, and then I was able to finish up the car and squeegee the window. The snow was tapering off -- it's not done yet -- so I rocked the car back and forth from its parking spot to the alley, gave it a final going-over, and knocked off for now.
We'll both be back at it later.
My warm, bomber-style Winter hats have vanished; I thought I'd put them on the top shelf of my closet but they failed to turn up. A knit cap and the hood of my jacket were good enough for now but I'm going to have to keep looking.

Clearing snow and ice while the precipitation is falling is like washing a kid's face before he's 21 - incomplete. Better you and Tam, than me. As we have ice under our snow, and being old enough that there is nowhere that Hunky Husband or I must be, we will wait it out - letting mother nature take care of ridding us of our 8.5" of snow (with drifts and ice). I did walk up to the mailbox, this morning, to pick up Tuesday's mail, and put out the trash and recycle carts for pickup Friday; but, I tell myself that the reflectivity of the snow cover will help slow down global warming.
