Weather, again

We had another round of snow here, and since we have a crane coming in at the end of next week, we are battling the weather to keep the driveway navigable. We don't want to pour salt on the ground, ruining the soil for planting, and we don't want to use chemical treatments either. That means whenever we get a warm spell, we have careful plowing by Sam to smooth out frozen tire tracks, and careful bashing by Flip to break up the ice. Then, we get another day like yesterday to start it over again. However, weather's looking warm again this weekend so looks like we'll get another chance. So far, so good.
