Just came back in - it's so cold the snow blower wouldn't start, so I had to bring it into the basement to defrost enough for the gasoline to vaporize in the carburetor. I shoveled the sidewalk, the snow was about a foot deep there, but at 4 degrees with the wind kicking along at 20 mph, the wind chill index is -14 degrees f. After about 30 minutes of shoveling, I made it to the cars, that was enough for this old man until I can get the snow blower started. I called a snow removal service I found in the newspapers, the guy said he might be able to get here my late afternoon or tomorrow morning, and the charge to do just the driveway, which will probably take him about three minutes, is $100. I told him I'll call him back - NOT! By noon the temperature is supposed to get up to 12 degrees, and by then the snow blower should be warm enough to start. (fingers crossed)
