No more melting

I used the pick axe I bought a couple years ago (for the purpose of cutting sod so as to level the deck off of the cottage on the farm) to chop up a mound of ice/snow in front of the house and therefore turn the two parking spots into three or possibly even four spots. The snowman who watches over the cars continues to shrink but the weather will not rise above zero for at least another week, giving him a bit of a reprieve.
