I was hoping to get a very early start on my first official day of work at Digital Alloys. Mother nature had other plans. I woke up to the first snowfall of the season, a respectable 6-8 inches. If not for two broken shear pins and extremely wet snow, I would have been done snow blowing in an hour. Instead, the task took closer to two hours. On the positive side, very few cars were out when I did set out for the office making the commute extra short despite very slick roads.
