From top step of back porch. Next is the route straight ahead from the pole, 120 feet to my car. There is a 4 foot drift behind the car!
One-shovel-wide. Saves effort. 21 inches deep! Takes three shovel-fulls to reach the patio concrete.
Looking the other way, toward the steps, which I had to reach and clear so I can open the back door. The snow is very heavy, unlike the frozen light powder in the last storm.
More brandy in the next coffee.
