Just below freezing for the first time in a couple of weeks (way warmer than single digits in Fahrenheit). Been too cold of late. Today, though, damn near tolerable, for winter.
Managed to chip away at the four or five inches of ice over about thirty feet of the drive. Not quite half way there, though. Finally defeated the walk to the bus stop for the neighborhood kids (and my own) ...
... it was up to my waste and mostly solid ice, until yesterday. Today was a couple of degrees warmer and with a pick ax, roofing tool, and what ever parts I used up that will never grow back, I got through the frozen shit and we now have a safe walk to the street, for the first time in about eight days.
