25" of snow Saturday. The farmer who has been handling snow removal
here for the past 33 years didn't even attempt it. Driveway is 660
and steep but he has tackled this much snow before. Called others
from the Yellow Pages, no dice. Another foot of snow expected
Tues.-Wed. Death by starvation. Never thought I'd go out this way.

Ask around to learn if there's a day-labor center near you. Most towns have
one, and you might be able to put a little crew together to shovel you out,
assuming you can find shovels. Your driveway sounds like mine, except
shorter. I own a Bobcat, but it only has a bucket, not a plow. Of course,
I'm in the north where plows are everywhere. I've had the same guy do my
basic driveway for years now, and then I go out and clean up with the
Bobcat. If the plow guy is away, he always has someone to cover for him.

Everything seems upside-down this year. We've had snow, but not a lot of
it, and normally-warmer places have been colder than here.

Your problem is that you need food. Can you get a store to deliver where
you are? Around here, the Stop&Shop chain does, and maybe you could get it
to the bottom of your driveway. Rig up a sled of some sort and go get it.

good luck.
