Well, that underwhelming "blizzard" of last week has now shown a bit more of it's ugly face. I didn't think I was going to get my car out of my apartment complex. Snow plows trapped me in...I'll make sure not to park in that spot again. :x

OK....the snow is back....I rigged up a brush on a 10' PVC pipe. I still need the extension ladder, but I was able to resuscitate the signal :? .
