Wednesday’s storm packed a
wallop. It wasn’t the amount of snow,
but rather the type. What started as a slushy
rain-snow mix then turned to snow when
the temps suddenly plummeted. In the
process, the bottom layer of mush turned to ice. The result has been a four to six inch mess
in the metro area that has bedeviled commuters and road maintenance
workers. 
Nothing is worse to blow than
heavy wet snow. Somewhere in Wednesday’s
misery, my trusty John Deere snow thrower broke a shear pin—it’s first in 22
years of faithful service—then froze up!
Not to worry, Help was on the way! Sick with
a sinus infection, Bon Bon Pond’s best buddy, Jeff, nevertheless rode to
our rescue and got the ol’ beast back up and running.
During this joyous and blessed
season, we send out heartfelt thanks to our dear friend for his unwavering
support and assistance.
