Slept well until 3:33 a.m. when the TV in my room suddenly came on. Dunder might have stepped on the remote's ON button. (Blitz was still asleep and under the covers so it wasn't her.) Maybe when I put the TV in sleep mode I hit the wrong buttons. (I don't even bother looking anymore while I do it since I know how many clicks of each button is required.) Could tell the wind had died out. I turned the TV off and went back to sleep. Got up just before dawn for the morning constitutional. There was still a small drift right at the front door but once we got over that the rest of the road was clear. I can only guess that I was still fuzzy from sleep since that didn't register as strange w/ me. Whip and I were well down the drive when I heard the county's plow coming up the hill. Must have been on his way back home since he was dumping the last of his sand on the road. We watched him pass w/ snow flying off his blade. I noticed the wind had overturned my garbage can. Not the first time that's happened. However the top of the can had landed just at the edge of the driveway and the snow had made a neat curve around it. Strange when the rest of the drive was clear. Duh! I spun and looked back down the driveway. Last night even though the dog and I hadn't gone a long way we'd had to step through a couple of drifts just to get as far as Mjolnir and they were now gone! My plow guy had come sometime after the winds had finally died down. Talk about a deep winter's sleep - neither the dog nor I woke up!
