This is the second day in a row we have had to sand the driveway. Yesterday was sunny but cold and the driveway has built up quite a bit of packed snow which has now turned to ice. We sanded it well and the sun warmed it and everything was softening up. Then early this morning the freezing rain started and we're right back at it.
I didn't think to bring my phone out while we were working, but I caught up with my husband helping the neighbor next door. If you spread from the loader you don't run the risk of anyone slipping. Now we need a new stock pile of sand.
This kind of weather is hard on the deer. Now that they have gone through most of the acorns on the ground they are getting pretty desperate. Anything remotely edible this time of year like Primrose, Myrtle or Heuchera that isn't safely buttoned up like this...
Looks like this.

They are ravaging the lawn, digging through the snow. Deer are not very precise excavators so they end up throwing mud and grass all over and leaving nice little pot holes everywhere,
If we would get some sunshine everything would sparkle, but it is overcast and still drizzling and fog is setting in. I had lunch plans put I postponed them. So sense going to town in weather like this,
