Right now 25 to 35 mph winds- the calm before the big storm coming today with lots of rain predicted This is why homes have 2 foot thick walls and heavu terrib;e-cotta roof tiles. Not the best day to plant veggies -

So the plowed mess at the end of my driveway, 3 cars wide, had turned to cement. Took me over an hour to chop the chunks and blow it to the yard. It was like watching mortar projectiles being fired.
Cleaning the driveway was easy. The cars on the other hand are frozen with ice and then snow then another coating of ice. So I left them covered since we are going to get more freezing rain tonight. Thank God for the 100lbs of ice melt I bought.

In the 20 years I've worked here, they've closed due to inclement weather exactly 2 times, and I was here working for both of 'em. Today? We're open and business is brisk. People are nuts.

For the second time, I got to work before they texted me to stay home.
What a diehard!
I remember going to work, about 30 years ago now. The sun wasn't up yet and the sand was blowing so hard, I brought goggles with me.
I was 1st coating the joints on a commercial unit and the sand stuck to the wet joint compound right after I coated those joints.
I earned the name die hard because of that.
Well... probably way before that after another ridiculous work stunt.
