A Sad, Snowy Tale

The picture tells the whole story. I had just pulled Karen's car back to clear the snow from her space. I pulled the rope to start the snow thrower, and ended up with the broken rope in my hand.

The good news is that the machine actually did start, and I managed to get Karen's space cleared before the thrower stalled.

Replacing the rope is probably within the meager scope of my skills, but it's going to be cold work with no temps above freezing for at least a week.

And I still will have to shovel my car out by hand.
