In between has seen me spending a lot of time and effort struggling with
the elements. It seems Wensleydale (where I live) caught the heaviest of
Thursdays snowfall, thankfully it was not accompanied by the high winds
that were forecasted. As it is I have several shrubs bent and broken by
the weight of snow, and a couple of large boughs brought down as well.

Much of the garden is still under 4 inches of snow even after two days of
thaw, thank heavens for the snow blower.

Why didn't you use the Defender?
You surely would not have had a problem with the drive with that (except for
everyone else).
