Well, at least my snowblower didn't break down until I had a walking path from our house to the end of the driveway. At least I have the part I need to fix it (a shear bolt for the auger), but it is -6 degrees F here right now (today's high temperature) so I really don't feel like laying on the garage floor to replace it right now. Tomorrow's (Monday's) forecast is a little bit better, but not much - the low is -19 F and the high is -1 F, so my repairs are going to have to wait.
Maybe I will try to point a space heater towards it for an hour or two tomorrow before I work on it. I really need to get my pickup out sometime tomorrow. I need to do a grocery run for my oldest son who is snowbound about an hour away. He only has a car and its likely going to be a week or more before he will be able to get it to the end of his driveway. Lesson learned I hope, when there is a snowstorm coming, park at the end of the driveway. - That and stock up on a few things beforehand - like some staple and non-perishable foods, and dish soap, TP, and other stuff.

PS This morning my wife showed me the temperature in Antarctica. It was -20 degrees F - the same as it was here this morning. Pretty Cool huh.
