Sunny, but not fun

I have one knee that objects to fall activities. Walking on side hill, moving wood etc. It flared up this morning with the one inch crust on top of the new snow. My feet kept breaking through the crust and jamming the bad knee. I am not positive that a tree is the root cause, but when we were kids, skiing the north side - before runs, before glading, my right knee struck a tree.

We had an unusual weather event – warm yesterday afternoon, strata road ice/snow were breaking up. We had a bunch of wet snow, then the temperature dropped at night, leaving a thick (one inch?) crust on top.

It took two passes to clear my driveway, and it was an interesting walk to the construction site down the road. I waited for the sun's help to shovel the crusty deck.

Village roads have not been cleared. I haven't heard if YRB has been up. When I came home late yesterday afternoon, the snow started between the junction and the parking lot.

It is a sunny day, but my truck is not leaving the driveway, as I don't know if I will have trouble getting back.
