We had hoped to get the leaf removal business in order over the weekend. Pick up is scheduled for Wednesday. Rude weather kept us from getting very much of anything done although TOPWLH did make some progress on the front yard.
Today's forecast indicated too cold for bicycling so some progress had to be made today.
I stepped out shortly after dawn to corral the daily newspapers. Oops.
Clearly the too cold for bicycling part of the forecast was spot on.
The leaves are frozen to each other and to the ground. The two of us engaged in off and on hard, hard work beginning around noon. It was off and on because it was too hard. Neither of us could sustain an effort for an extended period of time. Lots of breaks were required between short bursts of too hard.
Still by dusk we had made considerable progress.
We have one more day to get the piles of leaves moved around to the front of the house. We MIGHT be able to do it but we are pretty sure that the men we have contacted to come by and complete the task WILL be able to get the yard in condition suitable for what is clearly impending dome, winter.

Even when you're expecting it, seeing it on the ground for the first time this season is a shock.
Frozen to the ground sounds grim. Men with heavy machinery are required at that point.
That last photo looks pretty much like dome.
Not biking weather. Not even that good for walking, and raking is just too hard. I think you're right. We're domed.
