So instead, I found that
The roads weren't terrible, but they weren't good by any estimation. They were actually better the closer we got to the lake, which surprised me.
After we got home and I finished up work for the day, I pulled out the snowblower and went after the driveway. We're expecting more snow tonight, but tomorrow is trash day and we didn't want to try to drag the bins through multiple inches of snow to get them out to the curb.
And tomorrow, I will blow the snow off the driveway again. But there was lots of room to stash the snowblower in, because my car is in the shop for brake work. Sadly, once again the Ford Five Hundred suffers from the lack of an aftermarket part to replace the brake hose that seems to have had a bubble in it. You'd press the brake, the bubble would fill up, and then the brakes would work properly.
Not so good. Not so cheap to fix either. *sigh*
