OUCH Lenn ..... that stuff does look heavy .... like real heavy wet stuff !
We've just been getting an inch or so of light powdery stuff every couple of days, so no real accumulation with only a couple of inches showing in the shady spots on the ground. Got perhaps 1/8th of an inch during last night, should be gone by afternoon.
I'll not want to trade you just now my friend, but I will offer you my sympathy and a good thought for successful removal without hurtin' yourself any too much!!!
