A Slight Miscalculation

We've always loved our driveway in the Adirondacks. We took out the minimum number of trees to make a narrow tree-lined lane and designed it so it goes between two massive erratics (for the uninitiated, these are huge boulders deposited by a glacier). The miscalculation is that we did not take snowfall into account. There was very little snow the last couple of years so we didn't see the problem. This season we've already had about 7 feet of snow, with potentially lots more to come. The guy who plows the drive is saying there is no more place to pile the snow and soon he won't even be able to get his truck in. Our caretaker pointed out that emergency vehicles also could not get in, so our insurance company might have something to say about keeping the camp open when a firetruck couldn't get down the drive. And I'd been worried about how we could get a fuel delivery with the driveway so narrowed by piles of snow. So today we reluctantly instructed the caretaker to go ahead and drain the pipes and turn off the heat. We won't be able to go back until some of that snow melts. That could be a while.
