We’ve had a lot of snow in the Northeast this winter.   The storms have come close together, and some have been mixed with sleet and ice.  Earlier this week, I noticed that the snow at the end of my driveway was creeping inward, to the point where it was difficult to drive in.  Then it snowed again – twice in two days.  Despite my shoveling, the pile grew every time the snowplow went by.  The snow crept in further to the point where I had to take drastic action.

I tried to shovel it out, but it was frozen.  It would not budge.
