The snow laden spruce tree in my brother's yard.
I was sitting in the office when the vice president said he had to leave because an ice dam had built up on his roof and was leaking into the house. A few minutes later, I was faced with the realization that my house in Vineland gets ice dams and leaks.
I told Don that I was going home after work because of the ice dams. He told me to leave after lunch. It took me a couple hours to pack up the car. I had stuff all over the house. Plus, I found a drawer full of my mother’s clothes that I wasn’t aware of. I thought I had taken care of all her clothes.
We got underway by three and were home by four. I had to park in the middle of the street until I shoveled out my drive. I only shoveled enough to get my car off the street. Someone had shoveled my sidewalk in the front and side. I took Danny in the side door and continued my shoveling. Then I unloaded the car, made a cup of tea, and rested for awhile.
There were ice dams on my gutters but the snow had mostly melted off the roof especially where there had been leaks in the past. The water goes up over the flashing and comes down inside. There were no leaks. I was planning to leave Don’s and go to Maryland tomorrow. I may go to MD from here but I’m not sure if I will go tomorrow or Sunday. It will depend on how I feel. I have plants down there that need watering. I also have more shoveling to do. I have two storms worth of shoveling in Maryland. I hope Ed was able to get there with his snowblower and blow out my walk and parking area.
I need some much need rest.
