Remember Willy and Ethyl ?

I wish you could see the perfect symmetry: one huge sheet of plastic holding precipitation in the back yard ( aka ice rink) and another one in the front driveway. For those of you who don't know Ted, his unique snow removal process from our huge driveway goes like this-

Before the projected snowfall, unroll plastic previously used for the rink out on the driveway. Watch it snow. Then go out and slide around on the icy slippery plastic, eventually pulling the ends up to scoop the snow and pull it over, dragging the snow off the driveway and into the front yard. I am Not kidding. When the snow is this heavy and deep, however, try to picture our added steps yesterday = using shovels to clear off lots of the deep snow while sliding on the plastic, then pulling with all our might while trying not to laugh, and waving to the neighbors who come out to stare. Photos don't do the spectacle justice...gotta love a man with a plan!
