19 inches and should have hired a plow. With the snow drifts felt like more.
23.5 inches here!
(And --
@Mr Ferret 88 -- you'd love this, too!!)
Oh, the neighbor I mentioned yesterday (the man in city gov't. position) sent over two of his "DPW boys" (his quote, not mine
) to help us, which was great. Oh, the "boys" ranged from 25-70 years old . . . just sayin'
) -- one driving a larger city plow truck, to clear out the entire front of our location, and then the other guy driving a huge tractor who got in real close to our front steps and scooped up a ton of snow in the bucket -- and dumped that off in an empty lot down the street. That was major! Under normal circumstances, the city plows and private contractors only plow two lanes straight down the street (not up to the sides of streets).
(Side note -- our landlord is supposed to always send over his private plow driver for the front area and driveways, but his driver is kinda useless, as he gets there sometimes a full day after a storm.
Half the time we end up shoveling out ourselves, before he graces us with his appearance.
) One time I offered him a cup of coffee and he appreciated that. Now, ever since that first time, whenever he shows up, he knocks on the front door and politely asks if I might have a spare cup of coffee . . .
